On this photo art, I tried to do something a little different however it would seem I needed to add a few more steps. I need a set of trees that are about the same distance as the end of the road trees as it looks flat and the light needs to back off the same side, As you can see the darker parts are clashing with the lighted sides as it's not the same tree. I could use the same tree part however it would look fake as it repeats over and over again. So developing a tree pallet is on my list. Next is the tree lines. I tried to brighten it up however that didn't come out the way I had planned. I think going dark and then adding in the light is the first steps I will take next time.
You can see it but on a lot of this photo I took samples of the trees in good sections and tried to clone them over the faded bad sections. This isn't about how good or bad I did in the photo but to learn from my mistakes and learning process. To some this is valuable information while to others they might not of even noticed if i hadn't said anything.
As you can see I was trying to make the road go down into the lake. This was done by using two different shots in two different angles. The first was done by putting the camera low to the ground but not to low while the other was a normal shot. This was only using a few photo parts but you can see that the amount isn't as important as it is selection the right parts.
This was the original photo
