Old and New

This piece consists of two images, one old image in black and white of a dock, and a newer, more high resolution image of the sea in color. I combined the two images to make it look like one. The old image is the black and white part in the middle of the dock along the shore. I tried editing it in a way that would show the sea and make it look like one image, but the edits also make it look harsh. It didn’t actually blend right from the dock to the sea the way I hoped it would, so it is easy to tell where the edit is. I tried to zoom in and use the tools carefully, but it still has a stark contrast. Although, at the top, I did use the gradient tool to blend the skyline from the old image with a clear blue sky, and that did blend well.
