Flowers on a lovely day-
I believe that enhancing the color on this picture really showed through in the orange flower. I added a lot of blues and greens, which darkened the little flowers in the background, making the back of the picture calm and then, moving towards the front really loud. When I was creating the colors for this picture, I was having a little bit of trouble since I couldn't get it to what I imagined it would look like. However, I soon played around with it and discovered that if you add a lot of blues and greens, the front colors will pop out even more because the orange didn't really get changed. It only really was darkened. I think the mood stands out that sometimes you can be sad or lonely, but soon, when that keeps past you, you will be bright and bubbly, just like the orange flower. I think this is really a good picture and it expresses creativity since you have to look deep into the picture in order to understand what it being portrayed. I think it is a lovely picture that has a great theme and lovely colors. I also believe that it has movement and harmony since the viewer has to look from the front to the back to understand and harmony because it flows so well together.
Little Flowers against the Weed-
I took this picture not realizing what a great picture it could become. I was really just taking pictures for fun outside when I cam upon this little flower and then I almost stepped on the weed with my barefoot. Luckily I didn't. Anyway, I thought that this would make a great picture because it is emphasizing that beauty, in nature, overpowers this ugly weed. But in a way we must also say that the weed is beautiful. The theme is everything is beautiful, you just need to stand back and look again to see the magnificence. The weed is all prickly, ugly, green, but if you look at it awhile, it becomes to be pretty. A pretty weed. I played around with the greens and blues again. Apparently, I don't like adding in the yellows. Anyway, I played around with those colors to make everything dark, except the flowers. The viewer will look there first and say, "Oh, what a pretty flower." Then, their attention will be turned to the weed. They may think it is ugly, but in a way again, its pretty. I believe that I have enhanced it, making it a better picture. It has great little elements all tucked underneath the picture and the viewer just has to look at it. Such as it has proportion. The weed and the flowers are the same size, but different objects, representing different things. It is my repulsive picture, but when you look at it for a while, you will notice that it becomes almost pretty. Just look at it...see, it is pretty. :)
I took this picture because it represents a failing marriage. The red symbolizes pain, hurt and anger. The ring, which is a shade of blue, was meant to symbolize depression, but when I was adding the red, it became faded. I really like the picture. Oh! And the pearls represent innocence, which is what the woman is. She is innocent, but forced into a hurtful marriage. She goes crazy since her husband is not paying attention to her. The lock symbolizes, as well, that she cannot find the key to unlock her marriage until the very end, when she breaks out of her wallpaper and is free!
