For the composite assignment we were to combine two full photos together in a visually appealing way. By using two different photos of the same Golden Retriever, Roxy, I created this composite. I first started by making adjustments to the background photograph in Photoshop by using levels to increase the shadows in Roxy's fur. I also used the vibrancy adjustment to increase the golden vividness of her fur. Next, I made similar adjustments to the foreground photo and then by dragging the layer over to the background image, combined the two photos. I then used a specific blending mode to create the smooth transition between the two focal points. After I had blended the two photos together I noticed the background image was not showing through as much as I would like it to so I decreased the opacity of the foreground photo to improve the composite.
A strength of this photo is the blending mode I chose to use. I feel it made the gold of Roxy's fur and the blue sky stand out much more than in the original photographs. This provides a nice complementary color scheme being that light blue and gold are across the color wheel from each other. One weakness that I see in this composite is the ground that is showing up in Roxy's face. This would be the only part of the photo that I would consider revising. For the most part, I had no difficulties during this assignment.
