My changed image is very different from my original image.
To make the colours from the original photo standout, I copied then created a new black and white layer. I used the erase tool on the black and white layer in the places I wanted colour. I used the colour replacement tool to make the colours brighter. I think this really brought out the graffiti and skateboarder in the background.
I made a mask of another copied image and placed it in front of the skateboarder. I did this to give the effect of the skateboarder moving forward. I used the erase tool to make the edges less noticeable. I believe this worked well and helped make the image more interesting.
The filter effects in photoshop can give your photo some unique effects. I noticed that shadows were being made as if the sun was coming from the top left of the photo so I decided to use the lens flare in the filter section to give the photo added sunlight. I think that it complimented the image and helped to give the photo a nice bright quality in the upper half.
I tried to add what I have learned in photoshop so far to enhance this image and make it more appealing. I really liked how the changed image turned out. It makes an interesting photo that is cool to look at and has a bold colour scheme.
This photo is taken at a skatepark. It is taken with the ledge in focus and the people behind and other things out of focus. I like this photo because there is a lot of colour in it and there is a nice composition.
