Originals







Things I Changed
 * I cut the leaves and background from the original picture with the tree in it to get the texture of the tree into my picture.
 * I clone stamped all of the leaves off the tree
 * I put the prairie in the background of the tree
 * I clone stamped the bushes on the background layer so that the bottom of the tree was covered up.
 * I changed the brightness and contrast on the tree so it wasn’t as dark
 * I cut out the windmill from its original picture
 * I clone stamped the trees so the windmill looks like it’s behind them
 * I cut shannon out of the original picture
 * I changed the layer with shannon on it to overlay
 * I changed the opacity to 75%

While creating the combined image picture, I tried to create something unique out of the pictures I took. I used compositional techniques such as framing and level horizon, I thought that if the horizon was angled I wouldn't receive the same effects. I tried to emphasize the texture of the prairie by placing a faded image in front of it for the grass to really stand out. The elements and principles of design that I used were color- the shades of the leaves and the prairie grass and the sky, texture- with the tree bark, the leaves and the grass, and balance and contrast- the colors darken where it is covered with the picture of Shannon and the tree shows the shadows. Next time I would focus more on taking pictures that would work well together.
