Adjustments and Border

The process that was used to create this image was actually very simple. First when I was about to take the picture I changed the ISO to 200 and then white balance to sunny because it was bright outside. After taking the picture, I used photoshop to adjust the lighting even more. First I changed the consrast and brightness. The picture was originally a little dark, so I wanted to lighten it up a little by increasing the consrast and brightness. I then decided to increase the exposure by just a small amount. After I decided I liked how the picture looked, I put in the border. First I chose how thick I wanted the border to be. I then smoothed the border to about 40 PPI. I also thought that a feathered border would look nice, so i added that. I chose to make my border a sky blue because I thought it would be appropriate with the setting that the picture was taken in.

There are many strengths and weaknesses to this photo. I think a strength would be the colors in the photo. There is an aray of dark and light colors. I also really like how the blue of the border fits so well the sky that the cat is looking at. some weakness in the photo are that the original photo was a little dark. It made working with it a little difficult. Another weakness with this photo would have to be that there isn't much composition being used. I think that using the law of thirds would have made this picture look better. What suprised me was how much fun I had creating this image and all the fun things i could do to change it.
