Color--Week 3

This photo was taken during sunset in Paris. The colors within every component are enhanced to produce an amazing image. The sunset is obvious, yet serves as a subtle backdrop. The cars are blurred to create an obvious movement. The road also creates a leading line to the Arc de Triomphe, which is transformed from stone into an eyecatching green color by the lights and the sunset.

Composition Assignment--Week 2

This is an excellent example of framing as well as an excellent photo! The little girl is centered and framed by the door. The visual impact of this photo is supported by simple black and white that allow for even greater detail. Since it is taken in dim light from the inside, any color from outside would detract attention from the girl.
