I love this first photo. There are so many colors and it just fascinates me! The blue sky, the green trees and grass, the brown mountains, and then of course the red tree right in the middle. The red tree provides so much contrast as one of the more warmer colors. Many of the other colors compliment it, too. I only wish that there were not any people in this photo, but it was in the middle of the day.
I took this picture because I was fascinated with how muted all the colors were. I think there is some strong affinity going on in this photo, considering how nothing really pops (except for maybe the red lights). I think the mountain is beautiful lit, and the cloudy sky makes the photo even more muted. I love the lines from the cars, but I kind of wish they were not there.
I took this photo towards the end of the day. I love the light yellow streaming into the sky from the sun. It is really stunning, and it stands out from the darkness of everything else. The color just really took my breath away.
Josh,
ReplyDeleteYour first photo does a lot with color. The red is such a strong color compared to the blues, greens, and browns that surround the space. The yellow is competing a little bit, but since the red in smack dab in the middle, our eyes are trained to go right there.
Your second photo does have a lot of muted colors. However I think the yellow stripe of light on the car in front of you is what my eye is drawn to first. Since you wanted more of an affinity of color, it might have been interesting to try and mute the yellow in photoshop, or crop it out entirely.
Your third photo is obviously gorgeous because sunsets are always gorgeous! The colors definitely gave me a calm feeling because it looks like the end of the day and that is relieving. Since the sunset is so pretty, I kind of wish all those cars weren't there and you took the photo with the trees and sunset filling the frame.
Good job!
