DindorfB-Texture

Final:


I made 10 major changes to my final picture. I first increased the contrast 2 to make the colors look better; it brightened it up a lot but also added natural looking shadows. I then used the quick selection tool to easily crop out the objects I need. After I selected the things I wanted, I then copied and pasted it to my background picture. Since the tool selected more than I needed, I used the eraser brush to erase around the object I needed to make it look more realistic and clean. When I was erasing I used the zoom tool to get really close up to make sure I didn’t miss any spot. I changed the opacity of the hand to make an illusion of it going under the leaf and so that the person standing on it was more noticeable. I made the girl on the hand more noticeable by sharpening her which made her look more bold. To make the centipede fit on the leaf branch correctly, I used the rotating tool. I then used the pencil tool and changed the color to red to draw an eye on the centipede to make it look evil. Lastly, I messed with the curves to make the lighting look better and then I decided to adjust the brightness because it was looking a little dark.

If I could change anything about my final picture, I would maybe add something in the background or in the left corner because there is nothing there. In the main picture the compositional technique I used was framing. The parts that really showed texture is the tree trunk and the leaf and maybe the hand. I feel I did a decent job with this assignment but it could've been better because I feel that there is too much going on in the middle and that the blurred background looks bad.
