I cropped this picture to make the rock the center of attention.

Adjustment Layers

 Before Adjustment.

After Adjustment.

 

Just a slight change.

Rule Of Thirds

Vantage Points

side view

front view: zoomed in

front room: zoomed out

bird view (from above)

worms view (from below)

Taking these pictures from these different points change the way the subject is portrayed by making the sizes and view of the elephant change.

I like the the side view best because it has the green background which makes the elephant more visible in some part while the brown boards make it darker in some spots.

I had trouble doing the two front view pictures. If I did it again I would probably use a different angle.
