I then again used the hue/saturation to try to make the grass look as in place as possible by matching the colours. I put this layer here because it matches the shadow and leading lines are made with the building in the background since it has so much detail then the walls have formed leading lines down towards the bench and the centre. Also I made the grass so bright green because it creates a strong contrast from its grey surroundings, drawing the audience’s attention.
At first in this image I start by using the quick selection tool to mask out the object I wanted, then simply clicked and dragged the cut out image onto my main scene.
The using Hue/Saturation I changed the colours to copy the warm colours from the background to make the crop look more natural. I kept the shadow from the image the metal can was originally cropped from because it matched the lighting and shading from the background; light coming from the left side and a shadow reflected to the right. I put the layer right here because it’s in the centre where the audience’s eyes are going to be attracted to.
I then decided I wanted more to look at within my image so I decided to add a bench with grass because this on the concrete ground would look very unnatural and out of place. Again using quick selection tool I masked out the area I wanted being careful not to accidently pick up any of the blue fence or bush since this would look very weird and wouldn’t make sense as well as its very hard to make it look natural in an already unnatural environment.
