After spending a considerable amount of time getting to grips with the wide range of tools available in Photoshop, I lerant that I coud alter the appearance and style of my image by changing the brightness, tone, texture etc.

Below is a photo I have taken within the school grounds. Through using Photoshop, I was able to make the image appear brighter and the colours within, appear sharper and bolder. I made the background (bench and fence) appear faded in order to force the reader to focus their attention on the artwork visible. Using a layer mask, I was then able to crop my image to a size I felt suitable - I felt that the background (bench and fence) took the attention away from the artwork (focal pont).
