Removing Objects from Photos

I had trouble making it so the lighting of the bricks appeared realistic. I also struggled because the angle of the photo distorted the lines of the bricks, making it hard to create them seemingly aligned.

Contrast Project

 This is Vladimir Putin and i did both High Pass and Grunge to this poster.

I chose this text tutorial because i wanted to make him seem similar to an evil entity, perhaps Satan. I had trouble with my text tutorial because i was not able to use the downloads given in the tutorial without paying so i had to create my own texture for the fire, also i could not download the same font the tutorial used so i had to find different values for the effects applied in the tutorial. If i could do this project again i would choose a different text tutorial. HOWEVER, this was the 2nd text tutorial i tried and it looked better than the first so i was kinda like, eh...

 here are images i found for the tutorial.

Adjustment Layers

Even though my adjustment layers do not make my painting more realistic, some adjustment layers like posterize, threshold and invert are not supposed to create a realistic looking image. In my image i used the four following adjustment layers: Selective Color, Photo Filter (orange), Exposure, and Vibrance. I believe these layer adjustments created an interesting blend of colors in my final iceburg photo.
