Photomontage Perspective

This project tested our skills with the use of photoshop layer management, which turned out to be very difficult at first, but then seemed very logical after trial and error (lots of error!).  Starting with the ground plane I created a mostly flat grassy area to build upon and then the addition of the sky.  Next I began to situate the paths with the transform command.  I then started to add people/scale figures into the image with a blur/motion blur with shadow.  Next I added in trees that resembled the plan which I previously submitted.  I changed the opacity of the trees to help with the overall compositional feel of the image and also added in the tree shadows coming form the sunshine in the back of the image.  I then added in the benches using the polygonal lasso tool.  I finished the image by adding in some plants to soften up the feel of the composition and add some color.  Practiceing this tool of creating perspective images on photoshop helps me see the true potential in photomontages.
