The strongest technical aspect of this is the gradients in the sky and on the water. It took the most effort and knowledge out of everything else. The streaks in the sky could be improved. They are pretty blurry, and do not show the northern lights properly.  The easiest part of this activity was finding the correct colors because I just had to use the eye dropper tool. The most difficult part of this project was find a picture because I could not find anything that looked good. I used the brushes to blend and to make the picture look good. I would chose an easier picture if I could do this again.
