In this assignment I learned how to use feathering. I selected around the image and put the feathering up to about 30, and added a new layering mask, making the affect around the bird. After doing this, I adjusted it slightly and made it so that it looks like it's flying by, and took probably too much time adding the colored lighting to the background. I set the opacity lower for the lightning so it doesn't take away from the bird.
One difficulty that I had was that making the mountains visible and making it seem natural with the lightning was pretty hard. I ended up putting the opacity lower on the lightning layer so that I could see the mountains, and zoomed in a lot so that I could get as much of the mountains as I could without going into the sky again. I ended up keeping the opacity of the lightning lower in the end, because I liked it more. I didn't keep it as low though, because I wanted it to still be part of the image. I decided to have the bird flying by the ground with the mountains in the background because I thought it would give a cool affect, especially with the bird being the most prominent feature. I wanted the lightning to be there but I didn't want it to overpower the bird, because it's required but it isn't the main part of the assignment. I ended up really liking the way it came out, and another thing I noticed is that I used the rule of thirds. I didn't realize I was doing this, but this is also (technically) a design choice that I used.
