8.511 project: Description: The photograph i used for this assignment is one that i took and loved. Before i did any kind of editing i loved the contrast in the colors and large blocks of color. When i started editing it i knew that i didnt want to make it look unnatural but keep the same tone. When i first selected part of the image to desaturate it was the opposite of what i have. I didnt keep it because i felt like it took away from the image looking natural. I changed my selection to the sky and desaturated it completely. On top of that i added the Craquelure texture filter and changed the crack spacing to 7 and the crack depth to 1. With the Crack brightness to 9. I loved the finished product because it is simple and has a art appeal to it. I love the sky and even though it is flat it still looks like real texture.
