About:
Compositional Techniques: I used the image with the stump because it had a nice line in the middle of the image. This allowed me to place the points of interest on the sides, creating a better loo to the piece. However, I ended up unbalancing the frame anyways by putting everything in the bottom of the image. In the end, I think it's a decent overall composition.

Texture: I mainly focused on the left side of the image, putting the most texture and color there. The chaotic lines over the image of the graveyard are actually branches from a tree, and I feel it adds to the background's texture.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Concept: Mostly, this piece didn't have a concept. I had the general idea to make a regular-looking image with part of the picture changed to be strange and distorted. Past that, though, I didn't have a real plan. The rest of the images were used when I got an interesting idea for the piece.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Overall, I think this image turned out... alright. The composition could be improved, probably just by re-arranging some of the items in the image. The edits mostly feel natural, and I tried my hardest to make the images I added blend in with the background. It didn't hurt that the image was mostly abstract. Next time, I would probably start with a different image, as this one was a little different to work with sometimes.
