Madison+Dominiak+Texture

Write an explanation of the 10 changes you made to create a final Combined 3 Image.
I first took the picture of bark and lowered the contrast. After that I took photo of flowers and layered that on top of the bark, and screened the picture so you could see the bark through the flowers. Then I cropped Alex out of the picture of him and Tristan by taking the magic wand tool to do so. Then I took the picture of the stone and added a curve to it to make it look brighter. After I adjusted the curve I copied it and layered it on top of the other pictures I already had and put it to the right. I then screened that layer so it would be see through. Next I took the smudge tool and smudged the edges. ===Explain which compositional technique(s) you used in the main photograph final combined photograph.===

I think texture was obviously the main thing as it should have been. The bark, and the stone gave it it's texture. I think I used rule of thirds. As you look at the photo you see Alex, then the flowers, then the stone. ===Describe the texture you emphasized and any other elements and principles of design that you feel you highlighted.===

I emphasized the stone the most then you can see the bark. Those two photos that I layered on gave my piece its texture that we were supposed to highlight in the assignment. ===Explain how successful you feel you were with the assignment and any changes you would consider for next time.===

I think that I was pretty successful for my first time. I think next time I would take more photos and look at them as I take them and have an idea of what I actually want to do before I start the project next time because I didn't have any ideas as I was taking pictures.
