= THE BOY BLOOMER = FINAL PIECE 1. Went to image and changed the color to black and white, 2. Cropped out the flower in the picture before and changed that image into black and white as well. 3. Went into another picture and cropped out the face of a young man and put him in the middle of the flower. 4. Also Went into images and changed the picture of the young man to black and white. 1. Made the image smaller. 2. Turned the brightness down 20% to made the background darker, 1. Turned the brightness down 50% so it could fit into my final piece 2. Tried to focus more on the flower part by adding more texture are those areas. 1. Turned the brightness down 40%. 2. Tried to focus on the face so I made the background darker. Before you could see me actually taking the picture.

**__Composition Techniques__**
Enlarged the flower so it could fit over the water tower. Made the water tower look almost as if the stem of the tower was the stem of the flower. Made sure the the head of the boy was going to act as the seed/middle of the flower. Played with the brightness enough that each of the pictures could blend in well.

__**Concept and Texture**__
With making this picture really come together I first had to think of the right shapes and sizes I wanted everything to be. I also had to really think about what I wanted this picture to mean. I first worked on making the whole picture black and white because I just like how it looks. I've always been interested in kind of old school vibe of pictures. I tried to made the kid in the middle of the flower the center point of the picture because he sort of represents a young man who's the center of attention and sort of the outcast. I also tried to make the texture of the flower really stand out by focusing on the different lines of the flower and messing with the brightness. Overall I thought that this photo came together really well and i really like the overall concept and how everything mixed together.
