First edit
This is the original photo I started with.
I used the lasso tool to cut out Alex and the bench and put them on a separate layer above the original one. I then put the filter 'solarize' over the background layer to create the bright, sic-fiesque effect.
As I had already cut out Alex and the bench to make them a different layer I then decided to use the filter 'find edges' to make him stand out from the background more but also appear less out of place.
Second edit
This is the original image I started with.
The first thing I decided to do was zoom in on Alex's face and use the spot healing brush to get rid of any spots and blemishes on his face.
After using the spot healing tool I used the magnetic lasso to cut Alex and the pole in the foreground out of the image. This way Alex would not be affected by anything I decided to do with the background. I also took this opportunity to 'sharpen' the pole so it stood out more from the rest of the image.
I then went back to editing the background and used the box blur so that the colours of the fairground melded more together and became out of focus to put more impact on Alex.
Third edit
This is the original photo I chose to edit.
After using auto tone I zoomed in on Alex's face to use the spot healing tool and get rid of any of his spots and blemishes.
I cut the bench out and gave it it's own layer so that I could sharpen it so even the scratches and outline of it were more obvious in the final image.
I duplicated the background layer again to edit Alex out of the picture using the lasso, once I had done this I played around with the tone of Alex so that it felt more authentic than the original picture that I had decided to use the flash on.
I played around with the hue/saturation of the image as a whole to make the picture brighter and less moody than before.
Finally, I used the radial blur to make the people in the background less in focus and put everything further into the foreground in better focus.
