United Imagery Assignment 3

                   The strongest aspect of my work in this assignment, would be the blending of my background and my midground. I took my background and cut out an area to put my middle ground in. Once I put in my middle ground, I sent the image to the back making it look like one picture. I then used the smudge tool to smudge the edges of the pictures together. The aspect of work that I need to work on, is the foreground picture. The picture is so blurry, that it makes the work fall apart. You can clearly see that the men walking, are a separate picture. I should have also focused more on cutting out the foreground.
                    What was easiest about the assignment, is the mixing of the background and the mid ground. I didn't really have to work that hard on joining the two pictures. Thankfully the two pictures that I chose, mixed very well at the edges. I was lucky to find two pictures that either are in the same jungle territory, or are the same jungle. The most difficult part of this assignment was putting in the foreground. It was hard to find a picture of men marching in the jungle. A lot of the pictures weren't on paths, but in the work, my middle ground is a path. A lot of the pictures were of the Vietnam war and weren't that good for my assignment. What was also difficult, was trying to make the foreground blend into the middle and background. Cutting out the foreground had to be very precise and I began to get careless.
                     I feel I demonstrated this assignment as best I could. I feel I used all of the tools available to their fullest potential. I used the smudge tool to blend in the all the layers. If I could do this assignment again, I would definitely change my foreground. The picture is just terrible quality. I probably wouldn't have put in marching men. I would have put in maybe an animal or two walking across the path, or something to that extent. It would change the realness of the picture greatly. The picture would look much better.
