Contrast in Texture

In this photo, I love the texture of the soft hands with the hard leaves. I really love how I edited this picture, because her hand was not actually dirty when we took the photo, but by adding darks to it it makes the hand look kind of dirty and rough. I also like how the leaves are in focus but the hand isn't, I think it makes for a very cool contrast between the hardness and the softness.

Symmetrically balanced 

The way that the tree in the back and the clock lined up was unique for this photo, and I really love how every tree has a mirror on the other side of the photo. I edited to slightly bring out the yellow and green in the leaves but I wanted the main focus to be on the symmetry of the trees and the clock.

Contrast in Value

I really love the strong contrast in this photo. I was on the edge about posting this one because the way I've edited it makes it hard to see what the structure is, but I personally connected with this photo. The photo was originally lighter on the top and the bottom was a light blue because of the sky, but I edited it to make the photo more dramatic. The white part forms different shapes when you look at it because the black and white is so strong. I also like the light in the middle of the black, so the black doesn't get completely lost. I really loved this photo because of the geometric shapes and the visual intensity of this photo.
