This photo is of a leaf with dew drops, and it is a plain and simple picture that contrasts with it’s background. It is particularly eye catching due to the deep pink color. It reminds me of a picture on a calendar. The dew drops, and the sharp borders of the leaf represent the crispness of fall.

This sunset is intense, the pink and purple sky is intensified by the computer, but it conveys the beauty of the sky. These conditions probably would have been ideal for taking portraits. I think that I could have angled the camera more appropriately, because this photo lacks some dynamic. The composition is not as well planned out as it could have been.

This silhouette of a horse was taken in the evening, the original photo had a dark blue skyline. I wish the horse’s head was more clearly outlined. The angle of the camera was very low, almost ground level to capture this photo. I altered the photo to sepia, to kind of match the following photo. The sunset intensifies the composition of this photo.

This photo has a vignette effect, it’s colors are also altered. I thought that the vignette added to the composition, adding balance to the photo. The picture has a balanced feeling as it is in an oval shape. The reflection is the best part, it is eye catching, and then the viewer will probably look to the horse, and then the sky, which matches the reflection. If I was able to re take this photo I would probably simplify the background.

This close up captures the horse’s expression. It is awkwardly positioned, and cropped. However, I believe that adds to the uniqueness. The background is not in focus and the black and white coloring creates a crisp and sharp image. The angle is interesting, and it was a challenge to have the horse’s ears standing up. When taking photos of horses it is always important for their ears to be forward!

This would be considered an action shot of a running horse, I like how he is in slightly more focus than his surroundings. He is weighted to the left of this photo, and I like how his hoofs are just off the ground. The clutter of the leaves contrasts well with the simplicity of his coat and mane.
