I took a bunch of pictures of flowers when we went to the graveyard and decided I wanted to do something with them because they were so beautiful. I also really liked the background picture of the woods when we went to the prairie. I thought it was just so simple but looked really pretty. So what I did was I cut out the flowers and then pasted them and rotated them to how I wanted them on my final picture. I also did the same thing with the butterflies, I made it look like there flying and like there alive. Also I changed the background picture to black and white because I thought it made the picture look cooler and it also fits my criteria better. I would say I used leading lines because I put the flowers in a line with the path in the background photo.

My concept for this project was that life can be dark and lonely sometimes but theres always things that will make you happy and you should enjoy the small things in life. The background demonstrates the loneliness you feel and the days that aren't always good, but then adding the flowers through the path and the butterflies flying around makes it feel happier and that you should look forward to life and exploring new things. Overall I think it turned out pretty good, I don't think it's amazing but it's not horrible. I like how I made the background black/white and how the flowers and butterflies are colorful and go good together. I wish I would have rotated the flowers better and made it look a little cleaner. I also added the butterflies last minute, originally I wasn't going to add them but then I found them and now I think it kind of makes the photo complete. But, I do like the photo overall and I think I had a good concept behind the photo as well.
