**10 Changes**
- I used free transform to change the size of the gravestone. - I adjusted the opacity of the gravestone to make it seem like it was part of the picture and not so bold. - I adjusted the hue & saturation of the picture to turn the background black and white. - I adjusted the vibrancy of the flowers to make them more of an aqua color. - I used the burn tool to enhance the shadows around the flowers. - I used the black and white tool to make the wind chimes black and white. - I used the polygon lasso tool to cut out the wind chime. - I used the burn tool to add shadows to the wind chime. - I added the filter to the image to make it look a bit brighter.
 * -** I used the lasso tool to cut out the gravestone to put over the mirror.

**Compositional Techniques**
The compositional techniques that can be seen in this photograph are rule of thirds, fill the frame, and focus. This photograph has rule of thirds because if lines were drawn across the photograph to split it into thirds the subject would be in each of the thirds. This photograph fills the frame because the subject takes up most of the photograph. This photograph has focus because the subject is in focus while the background isn't focused in so it looks soft.

**Texture, Elements, & Principles**
The texture that I wanted to emphasize in this photograph was a smooth texture. You can see the smooth texture in the bottle, the pebbles on the table, the gravestone, the base of the mirror, and the wind chime. I choose to emphasize smoothness in this photograph because there were lots of smooth textures in the photos that i took. My photograph also included contrast. This photo has contrast because all of it is black and white except for the flowers and the gravestone.

**Changes for next time**
The one thing that I would like to change about this photograph is that I would make the wind chime darker and my photo is also at kind of a weird angle so I would fix that too.
