 * 2) Used gaussian blur on the fence.
 * 3) Used selection tool to cut out first bee.
 * 4) Used the burn tool under the bee for the shadow.
 * 5) Used levels to darken the bee.
 * 6) Used selection tool to cute out second bee.
 * 7) Used burn tool under second bee for shadow.

COMPOSITIONAL TECHNIQUE: I used the compositional technique framing. I used the fence as a way to frame the bees on the tree. By placing the bees in a way that shaped the fence around them, the photo draws attention to them. This makes the bees a focal point of the photograph, even though they aren't exactly in the center of the canvas.

TEXTURES: I thought the tree itself had a really interesting texture of the bark and moss, so I think it made a nice base for the photograph. Also, I've never really seen a bee up close before, however, I was able to get close enough to one to be able to take a close-up picture. I could really see the detail of the bee in the photos I took, and thought it was a cool contrast to the texture of the tree.

CONCLUSION: I really liked the outcome of what I put together. Some changes I could consider for next time would be to make it a little more interesting. I do like what I edited, but there's just not a lot going on, and not much to look at.
