First, I found the base layer (which was the roses). I cut out an angel and layered it on top of the roses, in the bottom right corner. To have a better transition from the angel to the flowers, I went around the edges of the angel, using the heal tool and the erase. The third photo I added was a flower that was carved into a headstone. I cut that flower out, then I scaled it down and rotated it, so the flower looked like it was in the angels hair. I changed the layers of the flower so it was lighter. Ater that, I made the flower more translucent to blend with the angel a littler more. In doing that, you could see the roses behind the flower, so I colored behind the flower with the color of the angel (got that color using the dropper tool). The edges of the flower that were on top of the angel did not blend well, so I used the color of the angel and lightly added it to the edge of the flower. Then using the blur tool, blending it in more. The angel look cropped onto the background, so I tried to add a shadow behind it. The compositionle techniques I used were filling in the frame. The flowers take up the entirety of the picture. The textures I emphasized were the differences of natural texture against carved texture. The stone texture is harsh while the natural texture is more smooth, but they can still complement each other. I feel that as my first time editing a photo, I did pretty well. I would have liked if the angel looked more a part of photo, by doing the shadow of the angel better.
