Beauty in Decay (Embrace the shake)

Lillie_MtASun_MidRes_PshopExper

Hand - I darkened and green tinted the image to give it a more powerful yet organic feel
Heart - With this image i tried to spread a calm and powerful vibe through the red sun and deep green's
Head - I darkened the photo to expose the fog in the background and tinted it to really make the greens's the secondary focus

Eyes on Art: Nick Lavecchia Critique

1. The lighting is coming from the sun off to the right. Its shining through the waves and the fog creating that early morning vibe.
2. the lines of the waves take the viewers eyes from the surfer to the enlightened waves to the birds flying by.
3. A symbol i see is the birds and fog as a sign of peace and serenity
4. the surfer is heading out into the morning surf
5. Some morning Ill get to the beach for dawn and i see sights just like these
6. this photo is definitely nature

Elements of composition: Critique

• contrast - By increasing the contrast, darkening the photo slightly, and giving it a green tint, it added a silhouette contrast for emphasizing me and the bike
• leading lines - the outlines of the clouds take the viewer through the different colors
• Radial balance - the features of this picture radiate out from the bike silhouette
• negative space - the gap in the clouds creates a negative space
