Final: America

       This is my favorite picture of the two that I created. First I made the grass darker and more vibrant. I also had to used Lens correction to make my picture straight and level. For my textures I used the coins. I used 41 layers to create the money pathway. My other texture I used a five dollar bill and a one dollar bill and used the faces of the presidents and put them on the pillar of the arch. For my objects I used myself and chalk people. The pictures of myself are different pictures just using a different sign.  For my colors I used red & blue and you can see them on the chalk people who originally were white. I thought it would be a cool idea to incorporate the world "change" into my photo because of all the change on the pathway. I think this picture represents America because of all the money. Money is a big part of America. I believe that the world should change though because It is pretty rough out there. If I could go back in time I would have made sure I used a tripod so my pictures would have be straight. 

     For this picture I decided to go with a home like theme. I'm from the country so I decided to just use this simple tree and field because there are loads of them where I'm from. I also cropped some of the picture because the field was too open.  I used my friends as my objects as well as sheep. For my textures I used a dollar bill as the base of the tree. I also used an American Flag for the sky. I used Overlay for that because I liked how the red part of the flag mixed with the blue sky. For my colors I used gold and made a gold Sheep (weird i know). My other color was green and i made the grass greener. I also added dandelions to my picture and put them over the grass. If I could change this picture I would have gotten a better base picture because it was hard working with such a small space.

Part 5: Bringing it together

One photo I want to represent freedom with an open field and possibly have a cage that is open with birds and or people escaping with maybe an American flag in the background. For the second photo I want to incorporate my family and home and maybe use an American style home from valley forge and then maybe take pictures of my family and friends and some how work them into it.
