More Picture Editing

Today I have edited some more pictures and decided that I kind of went off the track on musicals and show tunes and focused on the stage to much therefore I have used the microphone as a carrier of a music.Honestly I only did this just to ring home that it's a musical magazine but as I started the develop the image and change the colours, saturations and lighting I began to quite enjoy the picture.We took this picture within our school against a black back drop therefore no removal of the back-ground was needed, in fact I think the black back-ground help make the colours of fire involved more lively and fierce,which are the kind of emotions and passions involved in this genre of 'SHOW TUNES'.When changing the colour I noticed that my arm had sort of been faded out and the shapes have been made a lot sharper meaning that I think the edited image is hard to read, like people that haven't seen the before shot might not no what it is.This image was taken as a live shot as we were just messing around with the microphone and imaged to capture this image within that free moving second within the person nothing I had taken a picture at that exact time.

This image I really like although it's me basically taking a selfie , 'posed shot'.I like it because one it hides my face and also it has a lot of darkness within the photo, which is what I wanted in the portrayal of the character on the front row.All I did for this photo was change the saturations lights and hue and the back-ground was the same as the first one it was black and blended out nicely so there was no need to remove that back-ground.Obvisiously I'm trying to take my front cover down the 'Wicked' musical route and I feel I have achieved that within this photo, however I don't think this image really states that it a musical,'SHOW TUNES' magazine.so maybe if i choose to put this image on my front cover I will have to find a way to make this more musical. I can maybe put both the images I have done today within one, this will show the emotion that I wanted on my front cover with the hint of music needed within my front cover image.
