Effects

I liked the Cross process best (The one at the bottom) because it brings out the colors more. it also makes the colors a alot darker then what they were before. It makes all the colors contrast better and brings a more artistic feeling to it.

Frames

I mainly like the bottom photo more because i like the intense light. also my position has a relaxed feeling to it. I also like the one on top but i would have chosen to use the black side of it if i were to retake the photo. it would have created better contrast. If i could get rid of the white behind me in the bottom photo i think that would have made the photo more artistic. it somewhat random. if it wasn't there the focus would be completely on me, but it feels like there some competition with me and then white behind me.

Color!

i do like my colored shots because they have all the color your going to find in the area. it was dificult to find color where we are at. they also haev an artistic feel to them. there not just quick snapshots. You can tell that some kind of thought was put into it and it wasnt rushed.

In the future, i probably would have chosen a different area to take the pictures, somewhere with more color. also id probably chose different poses to make the photo more interesting.

Balance: Asymmetrical Vs. Symmetrical

Asymmetrical balance is where the photograph isn't the same on both sides. It cant be split in half and still be the same image.

Symmetrical is where everything on both sides of the photograph is the same. on a symmetrical photo, it can be cut in half and be the same image.

Visual balance is important because it has a lot to do with the composition. if there is no visual balance then the composition will be off and will most likely feel as if the photo is tilting to one side. all the attention will be going to only one part of the photo and not the whole thing.

Group Collaberation

The most difficult part of this photo was dealing with WHAT exactly we were going to do. we had to think fast and take the picture perfect being that we had a limited amount of time. it was difficult because not ever one was giving too much input. coming up with a good back ground was also somewhat difficult. we didn't want to make the back ground too busy or too plain. if i did this different i would probably just find a new back ground. and depending on what back ground it was maybe id figure out different, more artistic poses.
