I combined the two images because I felt that the portrait was strong, and I did not use the painting with light photo in the assignment and wanted to see what I could do with it. The image conveys a serious yet hectic mood with a solemn pose with crazy patterns. I feel that the face is a strong part of the image because the lines loop around the eye perfectly and the white looks interesting against the grey face. I would like to manipulate the scarf more, and make the pattern of the other layer more noticeable. It gets slightly dark in there and the layer seems lost.
