Assignment: Post an image you have taken of an animal. Apply an adjustment layer and a filter to the image.

Implementation: This was my cat when I was kid. I always thought it was so cool that I had a black cat for Halloween. He, however, was much less thrilled with it, since it meant the doorbell rang for hours, and he'd go off and hide. I thought the B&W adjustment looked good on this, especially since the old 1970's kitchen colors looked much better as textured patterns of gray. for the filter, I chose to sharpen it to enhance the texture.

I know he's cute, but please do not share this photo anywhere. Thanks.

Instructor's comments: I like the contrast of textures in this photo - wood background, cat, and patterned paper. Nice

A collection of carved tropical birds that used to belong to my grandparents. The tucan is from Aruba, the large parrot on the left only says "DC" on the bottom, the red and green parrots also are from Aruba, the yellow one is from Bonaire.
