  This is my final iteration of this project. I redid the vase and changed the background to be a lot more fantasy-like. I played around with this one a lot more than I did previous iterations and projects, and I do enjoy the way it turned out, but I am worried that It doesn't get my point across as much as I hoped.

 This is my first attempt at a background. I like the juxtaposition of the man made bricks against the natural-ness of the bouquet. I added the spinning filter to draw focus to the vase/"flowers" and also to give the sense of the leaf cycle. I think the vase needs to be anchored on something and also the bouquet could still be filled out a little bit. I am also thinking about the concept of using the vase to represent "Earth" and might add some kind of grassy texture to it to signify that.

 This is the culmination of my first attempt at this project. My concept is to combine different stages of the changing leaves and combine them into a bouquet. I am not sure what to include in the background yet, so I have been focusing on the bouquet for now. I still need to balance the other side of the bouquet, so I think tomorrow I will take some new pictures and complete this aspect of the project. It also still needs some cleaning up and fixing. I like my concept, but I am still struggling with the software and getting my image to where it needs to be.

  For my project, I want to combine the cyclical nature of the different stages of leaves in Autumn. This is a perfect project to do in Boone, because the leaves are so beautiful right now. My concept is to combine some different branches into a bouquet, like a bouquet of flowers.
