Changes that I made: - Layered three pictures. - Change in opacity to make the roses stand out in the heart shape. - Crop heart shape out from the roses. - Change level of background to show rust and the different shades of black in the bars. - Changed the brightness and contrast of yellow flower darkened to fit into the environment. - I burned around where the yellow flower meets the bar to create shadows. - Cut out yellow flower to make it look connected to the bar. - Changed level of yellow flower to make it brighter than the bar to stand out a lot more. - Blurred out the heart shaped plant in the background to focus on the main photo and make it stand out. - Change level of roses to make them dark to stand out against the white background.

Some of the compositional techniques that I used to combine these three photos were rule of thirds, leading lines,and fill the frame. If you would cut my photo by thirds there would be something touching all the points and where they meet. Leading lines with the rose pedals as well as the black bars that make you work your way around the picture. Lastly, my picture filled the whole frame. I tried to show the individual texture of each pedal of the roses. I wanted to show the snow spilling out from the middle where all the pedals met. I wanted to show the delicate yellow flower as it combined and met with the bars. Some of the principles of designs that I felt were shown in my picture was, shape, lines, color, texture, movement, and unity. I had many lines and different shapes throughout my whole project. I had many different colors and I felt when you looked at my picture it your eyes would move around it and it all looks it came together. I thought that I was pretty successful with this project because when I took the pictures of the roses and I did the picture of the bar I had an idea come to me right away. I thought it was hard at first because I didn't really know how to use the photoshop but once I got the hang of it, it became easier. I thought I did a pretty good job on this assignment.
