Final Image 1- Footsteps Image 2- Tree Image 3- Fire hydrant __10 Changes__
 * On image 1 changed brightness to 60 and contrast to 59
 * On image 1 changed vibrance to +47 and saturation to +100
 * On image 1 changed the hue to -6 and saturation to +75
 * On image 2 changed vibrance to +100 and saturation to +5
 * Then image 1 was resized and placed in front of the tree
 * Used the dodge tool to blend image 1 into the snow in image 2
 * On image 3 changed vibrance to -42 and saturation +38
 * On image 3 everything was erased except for the fire hydrant, so that it looks like it's sitting in the snow
 * On image 3 changed the opacity to 79%
 * On image 3 changed brightness to 15 on image 3

The texture that my photo emphasizes was mostly the snow. I photo shopped a picture of footprints in the snow, to show the texture of the original snow, compared to when there are footprints in it. Also another texture that was emphasized was the leaves on the tree in the middle of the photo. I increased the vibrance, so that texture stood out within the leaves on the tree. Other elements of design that I used were color and balance. With most of my pictures, I increased the brightness or vibrance so that the colors would stand out more. And with balance, I kept the tree in the middle, and placed the other images on both sides so that the final picture would look balanced.

I think that my image was a lot more successful than I originally thought it was going to be because this was the first time using Photo Shop, so I wasn't too familiar with any of the tools. But in the end, the photo turned out, and the placement and colors of the image turned out great.
