           This work is my favorite so far. I believe I did a good job at making the arm pop. It looks like as if the arm was coming out of the image. Furthermore, I like how I blended the 2 backgrounds into one that complimented the focal point. I could have done a better job at creating a background that wasn't do cluttered. In the top left there are conflicting images that create a sense of clutter.  Overall, I think this project was a success and is my favorite project so far.

          In this project we edited the facial features of a portrait through photoshop. I believe i best emphasized the use of the sharpening tool on her lips, eyes, and hair. They pop out compared to the blurred skin. Using the healing tool i covered up her freckles and blended the skin with the blur tool. I could have don a better job on the nose using the blur tool and blending it with the rest of the skin. Overall, this project was a success and by using photoshop I was able to alter the portrait.

The strongest part of this work again is the focal points. The fish give the image depth along with the eye popping colors. Having the water be a different color enhances the photo because then two blues are not next to each other. The objective of this project was to edit the image by desaturating it and highlighting the focal point. Finding a picture that has a sting focal point with vibrant colors was difficult. Probably the easiest part of this project is highlighting the focal points. If i were to do this project again i would may find a better photo with a little more going on. The photo seems boring other than the colors, the background can be enhanced.  Overall, this project was a success and the objective of editing a photo through desaturating it was achieved.
           The strongest part of this image is the most important part, the focus point. The focus point of this project adds depth to the image allowing the lion to pop out of the work. i could improve the painting with the history brush. This image was difficult because every time i painted the stray lion hairs you could see the blue sky through the hair. The blue made the picture look awkward and takes aways from the focus of the lion.
           The easiest part of this project is the desaturation of the image. Also, the painting isn't too hard but more time consuming then anything. I would find a more suitable picture if I could do this project again. This was an amusing project with an outcome i was proud of.
