Final Photo: Original 2 Original 1 Original 3 Three photos of a clock were merged because they were each at different angles and worked well together. Each of the pictures have a lower opacity because it creates a blended photo. The levels of the background image was altered with both light and shadows because it sharpened the image and made it the focus of the picture. The first layer of the image had its shadows turned down to almost 0 and the highlights turned up to 100% because it made that layer more prominent without having it take over the whole photo. The background image had its brightness turned up to 90% and its contrast to 100% because it brought the photo forward even more and created a brighter, sketchier image. The saturation and lightness for the second layer was altered to give just a small hint that the image was there, because layer 2 is smaller than the others and lines up almost perfectly with the first layer, but it also provides some contrast between itself and the background image. A deep yellow filter was added to the first layer because it made the overall tone of the image warm and golden, which matches the colour scheme the whole photo carries. The sharpen option was applied to the image because it brought out the texture in the rack behind the clocks and also the texture in the wood of the clock itself. A black and white contrast was used one the first layer to give it a major contrast from the photo while keeping the colour tone of the image as a whole the same, without giving it the full attention. A different warming filter than the first one was used on the background layer to almost kill off any non brown or golden colour, because it makes the image more intense (in my opinion)

I think I used rule of thirds because the most striking image is in the center, however it's tilted and out of the middle, and the other overlapping photos fill up spaces that the main photo doesn't.

I tried to emphasize the textures of the clock; the wood and the designs on it. The wood is tougher and has more scratches on it that the glass and designs, which are smooth and antique looking.

I think that this was more successful that my first draft and I like how it turned out. I wouldn't change anything on it if I had the chance to.
