As you can see, this passionate couple is taking Elvis Presley’s, Burning Love, a bit too seriously. How did they even end up in a pool a lava? Don’t you think they should be trying to get get away from all that lava instead of spending their time kissing? Well, it is possible that they are trying to spend their last moments together expressing their feelings. You can interpret this image of the couple by saying that they don’t care  what is going around them as long as they have each other or that it doesn’t matter where they are as long as they can be with each other.

Professor Polack want us to do something different with this photo for this assignment. She wanted us to use a photo editing software to change something significant about this photo. As you can see from the image above, I swapped out the water for something a bit more hot and spicy. Taking out the water really changes this image because of how it was visually appealing and helped balance the contrast of the photo. My changes to the image made the overall contrast darker and takes away the mood.

To edit this image I used GIMP and just like some of my other images, I used Fuzzy Select under Selection Tools with Add Alpha Channel in order to delete the image around the couple. I then used the Scale tool under Transform Tools to make the couple the right size before moving on to the last step.

I used Rectangle Select to Cut a certain part of the lava and Pasted it in its own layer. I did this to create an illusion of the couple standing in the lava instead of just have the couple and their legs in front of the lava.
