B4+TEXTURE+GESMAN









Various compositional techniques were used and present in my final image. Using elements on the original 2, the grass, and framing the subject of the final image. Level Horizon was also present in the final image because the camera was not slanted or image was shot in different angels but was kept in level horizon. When horizontally and vertically dividing my final image into thirds there is always something present in each frame. The path is the focal point of the image. Also, the whole frame is filled with different elements.
 * FINAL**
 * I changed the levels on all three photos except the last one before combining all of them.
 * For the first photo I changed the lighting to make it more brighter.
 * Cropped and resize the ducks.
 * Cropped and resize the image of the cross.
 * I combined original 1 and 2 and erased parts of each to make it into one image.
 * Dodge tool to make the cross more realistic and part of the image.
 * Soften the edges of the images that were cropped.
 * Blur the edges of the trail to make it more part of the image
 * Changed the hue and saturation of the combined final.
 * Used the clone tool too clone the grass.
 * Compositional Techniques**

The texture emphasized in this image is smooth or soft textures and having a dream like feeling to it. To achieve this, I changed the hue and saturation of the image to have that fantasy like feeling. I also used the burn tool to create shadows and the dodge tool to lighten some areas in the image to achieve that smooth, dream like texture.
 * Texture**

Overall, I feel like the image I've created turned out really well but there are some areas or things that I would like to change if given the opportunity. I would change how the path looks, the edges, I feel like it's not part of the image or doesn't blend with the grass really well. I would also probably change the way the cross is positioned and resize it a little. Having this as the first piece created I feel pretty successful.
