Final Image 1- Tree Background Image 2- Large windmill in foreground Image 3- One Way sign

Changes -Cut windmill, copied it onto background -changed vibrance to +42 on layer 1 -changed opacity on layer 1 to 92% -changed color balance on background to -54, 12,81 -cut, copied "One Way" sign in -changed vibrance to +42 on sign -changed opacity to 84% -changed hue on sign to -25 -changed color levels to -69, 7, -4 -used eraser to clean up edges on sign

The texture in this image I created is very prevalent, in the first image I tried to emphasize the branches on the tree as well as the snow and bushes on the ground by increasing the vibrance and changing the color balance. By doing this, the outline of the trees is clearer and the branches rough texture is easier for the viewer to perceive. Then in the second image by moving it to the foreground and lowering the opacity it looks larger but also like it belongs in the image and is realistic. The bars and metallic texture of this windmill is easy to see and an important part of the image. Finally the one way sign has a lowered opacity and the coloring of it matches the color balance I changed previously in the image, this also gives the feeling that it should be in the image and belongs. The main compositional techniques that I used were texture and color, these were vital parts of the image and I felt they completed it. Overall I feel this was a successful piece that I created for it being my first time ever using photo shop, but some changes I would have made was that I should have used different angles to get a different feel of the texture to make it more prominent in the image.
