Patch-+texture



Firstly, I changed the lighting of the background leaves to lighten up the picture, and help the subject from becoming too dark. I then lightened up the subject, and deleted the numbers on the speed limit sign so it would be transparent. Then I added a second layer of leaves to show through where the numbers were deleted to give it a transparent look. Next, I looked through my other photos and added different subjects from different pictures. Firstly I highlighted a photo of a butterfly and added it to the picture. I then made the butterfly darker to not draw from the subject. Secondly, I used a hummingbird, and then brightened the hummingbird for a natural look. I used the rule of thirds technique by the placement of the speed limit sign. This added balance and interest to my photo. I used texture in the sign. The sign appears to be smooth and slick, and I also used emphasis on the numbers of the sign. For this project, I wanted to have it look as if the numbers weren’t there and that it was transparent, showing the leaves behind it, then added other natural aspects of life to the picture. I feel that overall I accomplished my goal, and did a good job with the showing what I wanted to show, however next time I would like to take more landscape pictures to add to the final photo.
