The focus of today's class was to understand how to isolate and manipulate colors and filters to give our images a new look. We focused on the color selection tool and the history brush tool to create the effect. In this image, I used the color selection tool to pick out part of the water and brighten it up to create an almost neon looking effect. When I did this however, photoshop grabbed part of the sky as well and changed its color. I was able to use the history brush to bring it back. We then applied filters, and I chose to single out the mountain and give it a very graphical look. I used the history brush again to bring back the trees to provide a contrast.

I chose to keep a cool and similar palette on this piece because I felt it fit the image well and helped keep the general feel of the image while still giving it some pop style artistic effects.
