= Final: = Originals: **__Write an explanation of the 10 changes you made to create a final Combined 3 Image__** 1. First I adjusted the brightness of the leading lines in my picture to help grab the viewers attention 2. Then I added the gravestones into my photo 3. I blended the grave stones into my photo by erasing parts of it to look like the vegetation was covering the gravestones 4. I copied one gravestone and flipped it horizontally to get the correct perspective and corrected the reserved lettering from flipping the image 5. I added a fog layer to the image to give it a more ghostly feel to it. I accomplished this by turning my clouds into fog 6. What better way to add a ghostly feel to a picture than by adding a ghost? I took a picture of a plant and turned it into a ghost in my photo 7. Once the ghost was added I wanted to give it a more dark feeling to the image so I added a vertical gradient to the photo 8. While the top was darker I thought the edges needed it too so I darkened all the edges of the photo 9. Strangely enough I actually increased the saturation because the image had low dynamic range 10. Lastly I wanted to get rid of the pretty vibrant green leaves and turn them into fall looking leaves by adjusting the green channel.

__**Explain which compositional technique(s) you used in the main photograph final combined photograph**__ 1. The first compositional technique I used was leading lines. The cross country lines in the path lead the viewers attention to the ghost 2. The second technique I used was level horizon. I used level horizon as a compositional technique because I wanted the photo to have a tunnel vibe to it. 3. I also used Framing. I used framing by using the trees as a frame to the picture __**Describe the texture you emphasized and any other elements and principles of design that you feel you highlighted**__ 1. I wanted to really show the texture of the leafs and and the smoothness of the fog. I wanted to have a good contrast from crunchy leaves to smooth, soft fog. 2. I used color to emphasize on the fall mood by changing the color of the leaves. I did this by increasing the saturation and adjusting the green channel 3. Unity because my image felt as if it were one picture and didn't look super obvious it was photoshop unless you look closely. __**Explain your concept for this project**__ 1. My concept for this project was to have a ghostly dark fall image because halloween is coming up soon.

__**Explain how successful you feel you were with the assignment and any changes you would consider for next time**__ 1. I felt my final was pretty successful, However I would've liked to learned how to give it a more hazy feel in the background. 2. I wish I made the ghost a little bit easier to see
