This photograph was edited for the filtered selection assignment. I started out by adjusting the contrast of the photo with the levels adjustment on Photoshop due to the fact that the French Bulldog, Diogi, appeared washed out in the original image. I then highlighted the grass around Diogi with one of Photoshop's selection tools. Next, I applied a filter to the grass selection. For this particular photo I chose to use the Poster Edges Filter. This filter gives the grass a "cartoon-ish" appearance because it is all outlined.
A strength of this photo is the fact that the "cartoon-ish" looking grass ties in with the visually interesting French Bulldog. Also, the fact that the filter does not take away from the focal point, Diogi, is key to the visual appeal of this photograph. A difficulty I came across while completing this assignment was in the selection of the grass. Around Diogi's legs, the individual blades of grass stand out against his black coat. I probably could have been more precise when selecting these blades of grass.
