Color Emphasis

Manifestly, green and red are the two prominent colors in both photos. I had to change Sam's shirt in both photos to be more vibrant using the selection tool, but it worked out swell.

Forced Perspective

In the first imaga, Michaela is supposed to look giant-like, while I look quite small. It worked okay after much effort. Although, we should have has Michaela rotate her body inward, leftish, to make it look more like she was looking at me. In the second photo, Ian is actually laying down on some lockers; after rotating the image and clone stamping, Ian looks like he's standing upright and leaning against the lockers. It looks well also.

High Pass

I used the high pass tool on this photo. The photo's focal becomes much more defined, while the image as a whole becomes clearer. I'll probably use this tool frequently in the future.
