The Album Leaf-Original







I love the coloring of the two beginning images. I took a selection I made in class for an exercise (photo of leaves) and combined it with a photo I found on the web a few years ago. I believe the second image, the one with the squares, is a photo of a painting. When I began combining the two images, I thought the photo with the squares looked like an album cover. That made me think of the band called the Album Leaf, which is where most of my inspiration came from for this image. Their music is very soothing and harmonious. What makes this photo stand out to me are the adjustments I made with the opacity. For the final touch I changed the top layer's blending mode to linear dodge (add).
