The title of my selfie is "The Stormy Night". It shows three things I love and enjoy, the first being lakes. The photo I took is of lake Huron when my family rented a house and went on vacation there. The next layer is a sunset. I love watching the beautiful colors spread across the sky as I drive home from soccer at night. The last photo is of the sun during the eclipse. I loved the fact that it got darker outside when the moon came across. All I did in photoshop was change the opacity of the photos so they could all be seen at once. I think my selfie does a great job of expressing three things I love and enjoy.

Artist Statement: Throughout my time in this class I have greatly improved in my photo taking and photoshop skills. My first selfie was cropped poorly and you can see parts where there is nothing. This one has clean lines and a nice blend between me and the background. In my first selfie, I didn't bother to take the lighting into account, but my new one I tried to have good natural lighting in the image. Another reason why my new picture is better is because I paid attention to the placement of the background image. In my first selfie I just slapped the images on top of each other and hoped for the best.
