Here are some of my concepts for my theme 'beauty'. I decided to use an image of an eye, as I felt it represented the theme well. The original image was the coloured photo seen above, how to enhance the beauty of the eyes, I decided to use the dodge and burn tool too brighten the blue colour. I also thought it would be great to include a brush of some eyelashes. This I felt would really make the eyes pop and give an elegant touch towards the image. By making the image black and white, it emphasises the beauty and tranquil detail. I also feel that it gives the image a relaxed and friendly approach. I have also decided to use the black and white image and enhanced the look of it by making the iris blue.
The image of the flower was taken in my back garden. I decided to take this picture specifically as the colours used really make it stand out.
