For my full cutout I wanted to take a picture that wasn't very creative but show that with editing you can crop out backgrounds to make a useful picture.

The horse picture I thought turned out well although I found it hard to cut out his hair (its kind of long and fuzzy). I didn't choose the best picture to cut out but I thought it still turned out well.

The first picture I took on a really windy cold day in Rexburg. Her nose was a little red so by using some coloring techniques it took out that color and gave it a nice effect.The baby feet picture was taken in a studio. I had the idea in my head but it took awhile to get the photo I wanted because he kept wiggling around his toes and the rings kept falling off. The 3rd photo (with the flowers and the couple) was also taken on a windy freezing day in Rexburg. We took quite a few but I thought this one turned out nice with the wind blowing her hair. My favorite part about this picture is the depth of field. On my way home from Nauvoo I came across this turtle. Being from Shelley, Idaho I don't see things like this very often so I had to stop and take a picture. It was evening and I thought the lighting turned out well on the turtle's face. The boating picture was taken at Anderson Ranch in Boise. My sister was being crazy and so I was glad I captured her ponytail up in the air and a big smile on her face. It was mid afternoon so although the lighting was bad I thought it turned out nice.
