DaulK-+Texture







1. lasso tool Used this tool to cut out leaves from original picture and place them onto the tree. 2. copy and paste Making all other images other that in the background transition to it. 3. smudge/ finger tool Making the sun that is in the tree seem more natural. 4. blur/ teardrop tool Another tool used to make the sun more natural/ 5. opacity Making the sun not so strong and powerful, also used with the flowers to give it more of a spooky feeling. 6. brightness/contrast Tool used for primarily the leaves making some more dark, or bright. 7. levels Used primarily for the tree to not seem so bright, and to show the texture of the tree. 8. curves Used primarily for the tree to not seem so bright, and to show the texture of the tree. 9. exposure Used mostly for the flowers to give a brighter more clear color. 10. eraser tool Used to not have the sun on the tree visible.

The compositional techniques I used in this image was filling the frame. The branches coming of the tree made my photo seem bigger than it actually was. The texture I was trying to emphasize was in the trunk and branches of the tree. The bark design was really cool, and I wanted that to be shown. Another principle used was balance. This was something I had to be especially careful about when it came to the leaves. I couldn't have too much on one side. In the future what I hope to do it have a concrete idea to what I what to portray in my concept. One things that I thought went very successful was that I made the picture look not realistic, which played in my favor.
