Photoshop 2 

Layer 1 - My background was a drawing I designed inspired from the Maori tatto used on my mask. 

Layer 2 - This layer added the addition of 2 of my selected face painting images. Again by using a mask, altering the opacity and this time softening the edges I tried to ensure the 3 images complemented each other. I think the repeated tattoo design on the face and background acted to do so.

Layer 3 - On this layer I used a gradient in hope to add some depth to the work. By using a tone similar to the one of my face painting I hoped to unite the 3 images as 1.

Layer 4 - In my final layer again i used a flower similarly in an abstract way. I played with the colour saturation in order to produce this and whilst it's not my favourite I like the use of colour. 

Analysis: Compared to my other photoshop images as seen in the layer palet below this image was more complicated using various techniques as a result of my experimenting. There is evidence of the influence of my selected culture in the background and I like the way it compliments the detail on the face painting. However I think to improve the overall image I needed to form the layers into 1 whole image.
