Montage #2



This is my second montage... First I found a picture of a flower and decided to have the idea of people jumping into the center of it. Then I added the cloudy background because it makes it look like a huge flower. I made the pool in the middle by selecting a shape out of a picture of water. I lowered the opacity a little bit so it looked more like a puddle of water instead of a solid pool. I selected each person seperately and also the center stick of the flower so it would appear infront of the water. I also changed the color of the cloudy background to a darker and less bright blue because I thought it meshed with the water too much. I also made the water a brighter more vibrant blue.
I think the focal point of this picture is definately the flower but more specifically the water because all of the people jumping in are pointing towards it. I also created a glow around it to make the background "revolve" around it. I think there is unity because everything in the picture has the same thought concept of jumping in the water. Lots of images were layered with this because of all of the items I added to it and even the center stick of the flower. The color is supposed to be more intense with the flower and the action going on around it. I tried not to be powerful with the background color to prevent it from being a distraction. I used the rule of thirds also by putting the flower on the left side of the photo.
---?? What is one thing I should have done differently with this photo ??--
