Enhanced

Reflection: I drew a picture of an eagle.  I drew it on drawing paper and then traced it with Sharpie.  I then scanned it so I could open it into Adobe Photoshop.  I used the magic wand tool to cut out my drawing.  I got the blue sky off of the internet.  I put the sky behind the eagle.  I then brought in a piece of   wood off of the internet and used the magnetic lasso to cut it in.  I colored in the eagle using the eyedropper to color match a photo of a real eagle, paint bucket to fill in the eagle, and paint brush the fill in any patches missed.  I put the craquelure filter over the eagle, the water paper filter over the sky, and the patchwork filter over the tree.  I had a lot of fun with this assignment and will definitely use these skills I learned doing this project elsewhere.
