I deepened my understanding of the use of layers and transparency.  I experimented with different saturation levels, leading to various emotional tones within the composition. Despite the progress I made, there are areas for improvement. For example, I could have further refined the use of transparency to enhance the layering effect, to ensure that the foreground and background elements interact more cohesively. My understanding of color theory is still growing. For the second digital composition I was fascinated by how different color values could evoke different emotional responses. I realized that better control over the transparency settings could have further enhanced the layering effect. In certain areas, overlapping elements felt disjointed rather than harmonious.
