My concept was "locked in". I thought of this because the background picture is of a graveyard, and once you're buried in a graveyard you are stuck there forever. You cannot go anywhere once you are dead. On top of that I added a fence to make the whole graveyard seemed fenced in. The fence also prevents you from going anywhere. From the original three pictures to the end there were many changes made between all of the images. In my background photo I first blended in some of the gravestones using the spot healing tool to make the space appear more empty. The picture with the fence was very hard to incorporate. At first when we were just taking pictures during the photoshoots I didn't realize we would have to crop out images and combine them later. With the fence I first tried just selecting the dark parts and then deleting all of the white space, but that didn't work because some of the fence was cropped out. I ended up selecting one part of the fence and using a small part of it. I tried pasting the same image multiple times but the parts of the fence didn't connect so I just enlarged the whole image to fit the background. With the image of the flowers I cropped out and selected the blue one. I added the blue flower onto the tombstone. I then decided to make the whole image black and white because it made everything seem a little more blended together more and also it fit the feel of the theme more. The main elements used in this piece were texture, line, and space. The texture is throughout the whole piece. Lines are evident with the lines that make up the fence. Space is used because there is a lot of negative space which would be the white. If I could improve something on this final photo I would probably try to take a better picture of the fence, but it would have been easier if we knew the task we had beforehand. Even though I could have improved by making the fence a little better, overall I think I did a good job on editing and combining the three pictures.
