Photoshop: Background change & blemish

BEFORE

AFTER

 It was definitely helpful to know how to blemish. Now I could change my pictures if I don't like a blemish on it. But still... I don't think I'll use it much because people should be proud of how they look like and shouldn't change it on pictures. But yes, it was interesting.

I like that it looks real, There could really be a building in front of a mountain. Sometimes it was hard to get clear borders/lines because my tool I used just did whatever it wanted. I didn't like that.

Architecture

I tried to catch buildings or details from buildings with an interesting pattern. I was successful because I've already found some at school and didn't even had to take some at home.
I wanted to create an interesting picture. At my picture the bench and its shadow is leading through the picture in a little curve. I really like it.

I put the brush next to the sink ( that's the sparkle in the background) I wanted it horizontal and at the same high as the sink, so I had kneel down to take a picture straight through the brush. So I'd think my angel was the ant's angle, so basically I put my camera on the ground to take the picture.

Actually, it was not easy to take a picture of my pet because it was always moving and wanted to do something more exciting than "posing for my camera". It was luck to get him licking his nose. It is a different picture. He is not just sitting around, it makes it more interesting. I also payed attention to the rule of thirds, the dog is not in the middle of the picture which makes it even more interesting.
