Write an explanation of the 10 changes you made to create a final Combined 3 Image.

 * In the background image, I adjusted the levels to create a darker, and more balanced photo
 * I took away the backgrounds of each flower I used so it was just the flower
 * Once the backgrounds were removed from the flowers, I moved them closer together so there would not be awkward space in between the flowers
 * I added a tree line to the top of the final, so I had to erase the background, and darken the levels so that it was all black. Finally, I inserted it into the final and flipped it upside down and lowered the opacity.
 * Adjusted the levels of the overall picture once everything was in, to balance the picture out.
 * Lightened the purple flowers
 * Lightened the yellow flowers
 * Adjusted the levels of the fuzzy flower/cattail
 * Erased part of the fence where there is no screen and added blue
 * Lowered blue opacity

Explain which compositional technique(s) you used in the main photograph final combined photograph.

 * In the final combined piece, I used the rule of thirds by adding the flowers into a part of the picture that was not in the center. Also, I used the trees in the upper three squares. In the original picture of the tennis fence, there was a hole in the fence where the flowers are in the final picture.
 * Describe the texture you emphasized and any other elements and principles of design that you feel you highlighted.
 * In this piece, I emphasized the texture of the tennis fence, and the screen on it, along with details of the flowers that you may not see at first glance when looking at the flower.

Explain your concept for this project.

 * My concept for this piece was that in the midst of darkness there can be light. I demonstrated this concept by having a dark background with a fence, and having the light, or flowers pop through it, and through the obstacle of the fence and screen.

Explain how successful you feel you were with the assignment and any changes you would consider for next time.

 * For this being my first time using photoshop, I think I did a pretty good job with it, but it was not my best work. If I were to do this again, I would make sure to take more pictures so I would have a wider array of things to use. Also, I would go into a photoshoot with somewhat of an idea what I would be doing for my project idea so I would know what to take pictures of.
