Scale

I took this picture on 11.5.10 at about 5:30 and my camera was on auto. It's a picture of an old lantern in front of my neighbor's house. Ms. Minkel told me I needed to say why it's a scale pic so I will ha ha: this is a scale picture because it's making the lantern look big and the house look small even though the lantern is a lot smaller than the house.

The first thing I did was use the clone stamp tool and the patch tool to remove the crack in the lantern, the paint and the piece of straw. Then I brought up the saturation and changed the Green curves. Then I made a new layer and used the quick select tool to select just the house and brought up the saturation in that area more. And finally, I got rid of the little turtle statue.

I like the edited picture more because the colors are better and the turtle statue was kinda distracting. Then only thing I couldn't change (I tried but it didn't work) was to make the house less blury. I couldn't figure out how to change that.
