Final

(1) Erased the background around Makenzie (2) Put her into the background image (3) Cut out all but one flower in Original 3 (4) Resized flower to put into Makenzie's hair (5) Recolored Original 1 to make leaves colorful (6) Used the burn tool on Makenzie to match the lighting in Original 1 (7) Erased part of Makenzie's hair because it blended into Original 1 too much (8) Recolored certain parts of the tree trunk (9) Rotated the flower so it fit into her hair (10) Changed picture size

In my final piece I mainly focused on the texture of the leaves. To emphasize the texture I recolored them so they were brighter and more noticeable. The composition technique that stands out the most in my picture is rule of thirds. the leaves and Makenzie make the viewer focus on three different sections, the leaves, Makenzie, and then the background image of the trunk. If I had the chance to redo this assignment I would recolor Makenzie's face to cancel out the sun shining on her, so that the lighting would match in both pictures.
