Dillemuth+H-Texture



-Cropped two pictures so that only the flower was left with no snow or background. -Continuously used the "Curves" to get that almost inverted look for each picture. -Changed the hue so that the flowers had a similar color. -Warped the flower on the bottom left to make a complete curve on a petal as one petal had been cut off in the original picture -Enhanced the vibrance in the flowers, especially the one in the bottom left. -Increased the saturation of the pink in the bottom left -Decreased the saturation of the purple/pink in the bottom right -Rotated the bottom right flower so it is not upside down. -Moved around the "Levels" so there was a dramatic differ ence between the lightest and darkest color -Changed the two layers to dissolve into the background picture.

The compositional technique I used was an interesting point of view. The photo looks as though the flower is bigger than it actually is, with smaller flowers framing the bottom of the photo. It looks like the violets in the back are actually bigger that the other two, giving the piece an interesting view as we can see each detail on the center violets. This photograph also fills the frame with a different purple flower until it trails off at the top. I tried to emphasize the dusty kind of texture that spotted a lot of the flowers that was snow in the originals. With such a difference in contrast, it's easy to see spots were the flowers aren't purple. There is also the texture of the fabric of the center violets which is easily found in some of the lighter areas. Waves of the crunched petals and leaves can be seen also, but it is not as evident as the other textures. Above the center violets, we see waves coming off the flowers and that gives off this cloudy kind of texture. I used the element of color to make the flowers look unearthly and make it look different that it usually does. There is also a principle of contrast between the bright "glow" from the inside of the flowers to the dark flowers itself. Personally I would change the rose because I just don't feel like it fits in with the other two. The "glow" of the inside just clashes too much and the actual color of the petals don't match with the purple colors. I don't think there was enough texture in the piece so I would have made the entire thing light so that was easier to be seen but that just might be me. I do like the kind of haunted, fairy-esque feel that the flowers give. I really do like the contrast of the purple and black on the center violets.
