Gradient Tool and Gradient Maps

For the two photographs above, I used the Gradient Tool in Photoshop to combine two different photographs into one. I really like the effect that this tool had on my photographs because it adds more interest to them.

 For the next three photographs I used the Gradient Map adjustment tool, this changes the hues of the photograph. In the first photograph, I used black and white, then reduced the opacity down so it color and still be seen as well as the black and white part of the photograph. In the second photograph, I used a colored Gradient Map and changed the blending style to darken. For the last photograph, I combined  the opacity and the blending mode to make the subject more interesting.
