Student photographer's analysis of the photo:

I like this picture because it shows the star or symbol of Texas, and the color is brown. Around the star is a circle with the color of green. And the star is big enough to see from a long distance, and the wall behind it looks cool because it matches with the star. And on the right of the star you see the shadow of the tree. The branches are moving up and down. And to the left of the star you see logs pointing towards the star. This picture means a lot to me. It means that our state is proud of the symbol of a star. One side of the picture is dark and the other side is light. That's pretty weird.

Fidel, 7th Grade, Junior Academy, Raul Yzaguirre School For Success [RYSS], Houston, Texas.

I chose to edit this picture because of the star. I thought that the stamp tool would make a great addition to it. So, I cloned the stars with the clone stamp tool. Because of the ring around it, I decided to delete the ring, and add greenery to the entire background with the pattern stamp tool.

I chose to edit this picture by Fidel because of the star. I thought that the stamp tool would make a great addition to the picture. So, I cloned the star, and made it appear 5 times on the picture. Then, I decided the other stamp tool would also help. When I saw the green around the star, I thought about making the background match. I used the pattern stamp tool to add leaves to the entire background around the stars.
