This assignment was called Splash the color. It is visual assignment 340.

“Color splash is a technique to emphasize details- you remove all color from a photo, and then restore original color to a single object”

I chose a picture of my cousin playing in the leaves last fall. It is one of my favorite pictures of him and I really like the idea of using it for this assignment. However, after I started, I regretted it. It was very difficult to edit around the leaves, but I did my best and I think it turned out pretty well. (It is rough in a few places)  Next time I will definitely chose something easier to edit around!

I used GIMP to edit this photo. And I used Eric Jeschke’s tutorial on “Selective Colorization.” This tutorial helped a ton!  The hardest thing was trying to edit around all the leaves!
