In this project we were to create a shadow from an image that did not already have one. I chose to do a bird and go further by adding a background. To make the shadow I needed to copy and paste the bird itself, flip it to an angle that would look similar to a shadow, turn its color tone all the way to black, and then finally change it to a low fill/gradient. It still seemed kind of boring so why not add a little effect?! I added a different color tone to the whole image and also found a vintage looking filter to put over and fade it a little bit. Of course, I couldn't have done any of that without the help of Ethan! He helped me make it look more exciting and realistic but yet vintage. There were a few other tweaks but after that I had a finished bird in a forest with a nice shadow!
