10 Things: 1. I created more clouds using the clone stamp. 2. I brightened the grave stone using the dodge tool. 3. I used the eraser tool to get rid of the trees. 4. I made the grave stone smaller to make it look more proportional. 5. I used layers in order to incorporate the bright sky in with the grave stone. 6. I used layers to get the geese in my final picture. 7. I used the dodge tool on the geese to make them brighter. 8. I cropped out part of the gravestone to make it appear smaller. 9.I burned the gravestone to make part of it look darker. 10.I had to erase the light pole in the picture of the school in order to make it not appear in my final product.

The main composition technique I used was the rule of thirds. The bottom two thirds are filled with the gravstone while the top third has the geese in it. Also, there are some leading lines seen in the clouds.

Texture can mainly be seen in the gravestone in this picture. You can see alot of the bumps in it and also the different shades of color give it a more texturized appearance.

For not using photoshop in a long time, I feel that I was pretty succussful with this project. Once I get more comfortable using this program, I think that will make me more successful in the future. For the next project I want to try and get more use out of the different tools because for this project I feel like I only used a few select tools.
