This was one of my point of view images from the quay shoot. i took a bird's eye view of the picture. the focal point is obviously the big purple flower. i didn't change the lighting to this picture because i thought the natural light really captured the beauty of this flower. i did however soften everything else in the picture.

In composing this picture, i used the rule of thirds. the focal point is the boat in the left corner. the original of the picture had nothing special to it so i changed the contrast and brightness very dramatically. i think it looks like a toy boat in a little toy town :) maybe something in mr. rogers.

What are you looking at?

I used the rule of thirds to compose this picture. The focal point is the man in the bottom left of the picture. Because he's in one of the hot spots your eye immediately goes to him. Originally the picture was too bright so i changed the contrast of it to make it a bit darker.

The focal point of this picture is the stumps in the water. The stumps create a line of interest which allows your eye to follow in and out of the picture. I used a lower light exposure to capture this effect and also adjusted the brightness and contrast of the photo.

I think this is a good image because it shows a lot of depth. The columns are implied lines leading your eyes to keep looking to the end where the focal point is. The man wasn't supposed to be there but he wouldn't move. :)
