10 things I changed:

I opened my original photo and used it as my background. I modified the exposure level so that it had a more dramatic feel to it. Then, I cut her body out of the original picture that she was in. I placed her just to the side of the picture to give it a more natural look. Then I adjusted the brightness and contrast on her body to fit the background. Next, I used another picture from the graveyard of a cross. I cut that picture out of the grave that it was originally in. I took the cross and placed it behind some of the bush so that it would look real. Then, I messed with the brightness and contrast to make it look like it was meant to be in there. Later, I changed the lighting of the picture all together so that it would be more vibrant and dramatic. Lastly, I changed the positioning of Ashley so that it looked as if she was looking at the cross.

A compositional technique that I used in this photograph was Level Horizon. It was a picture of a landscape and was not a slanting horizon.

The texture that I tried to emphasize was the grass, it was very detailed and made you want to try to figure out where they began. Also, in Ashley's shirt that she is wearing you can see the sewing lines as well as in her pants. Lastly, you could really see the texture in the cross it was made out of wood and a little old but that is what made it look cool. I feel I highlighted balance in this photo because all three of the objects look like they were meant to be in there.

I feel as though this was a very successful project I knew what i was doing and that I just needed the patience to get through it. Although I did feel like it went very well I would make a few minor changes. I would change the way her body is shaped because the way I cut it out makes her look a little choppy and she is not choppy in person. I feel like I could have cleaned up the edges of her hair a little as well. Other than that I feel like this project went very well.
