For this project on unity, I decided to manipulate some of my final photographs to present the unity between nature and humankind in a unique way. To achieve this, I duplicated my original image, making one black and white while the other remained in colour. I then used the quick selection tool to cut out parts of the coloured image that I wanted to keep, which was the vibrant, coloured parts of nature so that they could stand out from the rest of the black and white photograph. I think my final edits turned out just as I had hoped. I like that the contrast of the bright colours of the flowers and leaves within a black and white image draws the viewers attention to those specific details while also letting the black and white image to stand out too.

I think that these edits turned out really well as for the most part, they are clean, precise edits which make the original image more individual and attention-catching. The bold colours compared to the black and white background was a successful choice which will add to my project.
