Wildlife Photography

I got very low to the ground when I took this picture. I noticed how colorful the peacock was so, in Photoshop, I increased the saturation and also the image's sharpness. I like this picture because I use the peacock's surroundings (the bushes, plants, the tree trunk) as a frame to place around the animal.

Zoo: Portrait

After observing this picture for a while, I noticed how unique the eyes of flamingos were. In order to emphasize this unique aspect, I added saturation, brightness, and contrast to the eye. Also, this picture was originally taken as a body shot which I easily changed by cropping the image.

Zoo: Choice

I took this image of a lion behind glass that was tinted green. In order to overcome this color difference, I Photoshopped the image. I like how the lion is almost posing for the camera as it looks deep within the lens.

Extra

In order to take this picture, I had to carefully sneak behind this peacock. However, right after my shutter clicked the bird quickly retreated and flew onto the grass seen in the background. After seeing the many peacocks in the zoo, I wanted to be able to capture their majestic feathers. This image, I think, displays not only the detail of the feathers' eyes, but also the range of colors found from the front to the end of the bird.

Photoshop Altered Image

This pop art image was created using an image of a flamingo which was Photoshopped four different times and then stitched together. We learned this Andy Warhol technique in class and were able to play around with it a lot. Originally, the picture captured the whole flamingo. Thus, I had to crop the image in order to zoom onto the flamingo's head, as if I took a portrait shot.
