Composition #2

For my second composition, I chose a picture of the Capitol Building I took back in 2008. The first thing I did was center the Capitol Building by cropping the photo. Next, I wanted the man in green to be centered so it would be in line with the point of the Capitol Building. To do this, I copied and pasted the man to the right. Then I used the cloning tool fix the grass in the old and new areas. Next, I only wanted spectators to be in the bottom corners to give a better feel to the composition. To accomplish this I used a combination of magic eraser and cloning tools to delete to people and replicate the landscape beneath them. The final step was to increase the size of the trees in front of the building. I wanted them fill in the space between each "third" of the image, so that it would take up the whole middle portion the the center third of the image. Overall, I think the changes to this does a good job directing focus to the main part of the image, the Capitol Building, while removing the distractions that would divert your attention.
