Is this what we are teaching our children is beautiful & you need & this is what you to do to be accepted?

When I go and fix the pictures after everyones comments I plan on changing the background all pictures but the first picture and the last picture. Also I am using the rule of thirds to show what's being said in the text.

Assignment #1

So this picture I thought would be a great picture to take the one picture of the eagle and just stamp it and make couple more eagles. Can you figure out which one is the real one?

This picture I just added text to. This is how humid of a day it was hiking that day.

Now using the paint brush/bucket I just thought I would go with whatever I came up with. That it was pretty cool for the outcome.

Week 9 Dodge and Burn

I have to say I have been playing around with this weeks assignment and I decided to use a old picture that I really liked but the only thing I didn't like about the picture was it came out so dark, yet it was a sunny day.

This is the new picture after I used all the setting below to change it

Dodge Tool 12x

Exposure 1 layer

and Modify exposure layer

The original image

For this picture I just wanted to see what kind of difference I could do with hardly any color

These are the settings I used

Dodge tool 10x to the pinkish color

Burn Tool 11x to make the black darker

The original picture

photomosaic

I really don't know what to think of this photomosaic. What do you think?

Week 8 Color Adjustments

These are the pictures I decided to doing color adjustments on. I had fun with this once I figured out how to make it so the color difference showed on on picture.

The second picture is of  mouse rock

Brightness added

After and Before together

All I did to these pictures is layered and change the brightness of the image. The first picture I darkened Eva and the mouse I made brighter.

Week 7

One thing is for sure photoshop isn't easy to use and I know I just like the basic resize, cropping, touch up, color exposure. I did try my best. Here is the after picture and the two pictures I used to form the new picture after that.
