My Final Image

“The Jungle World”

Spring 2025

Made with Photoshop

I decided to further enhance the image I composited together of a monkey sitting on a tree with a snake found in a rainforest. While I think the composite highlights the diversity of the rainforest, it is also a personal representation of my job at the Bronx Zoo, where one of the star attractions, Jungle World, also features monkeys and snakes. I decided to update the image with a more upbeat and welcoming vibe, utilizing the gradient map tool, ellipse tool, and an original pattern to accomplish this.

I used the following images:

My Composite Image

I composited together an image of a monkey sitting on a tree with a snake found in a rainforest. I think the composite highlights the diversity of the rainforest, the place many species call home.

My First Photoshop Composition

This is my composition created in Photoshop. This is the first time I have used Photoshop. I chose to use the rectangle, ellipse, and line tool to create a beach/boardwalk scene featuring a clear sky, sand, tree, and a white bench.
