This gives the picture a clean, relaxed feel. In this picture, the big orange space leaves room to imagine what kind of music the piano is playing. This picture makes me feel calm but alert, as if I were listening to someone practicing the piano. The piano in the corner in complemented by the yellow glow in the opposite corner. There are two main light sources: a soft spotlight on the piano, and the orange light on the cyclorama. They both shine down and into the picture.The contrast in texture from the smooth backdrop to the shiny piano adds dimension and focus on the piano. I really imagine the music filling the orange space, creating the different hues and little wrinkles in the background. Depth Depth is created when the lines and objects in a photograph lead to a faraway point. It draws the viewer in, creating interest as they wonder what lies beyond their veiw. This picture makes me feel carefree. I want to run around in the grass, all the way down the rows of trees to whatever is at the end. the texture is rough and bumpy. Planes and depth levels Colour Space The photo uses colour to make the subject stand out. Colours can create a mood, emphasize contrast, and capture the eye. In this picture, the purple in the background compliments the yellow petal. This photo makes me feel happy. I wonder about the background when I look into the dewdrop. The petal curves around, leading the eye to the drop. The narrow field of view strips away distraction, using splotches of colour to add life to the picture. The sun shines from above. I would describe the texture as smooth and supple,with the blurred background and the fresh petal. Dynamic "S" curve diagonals Element Relationship MIssing some elements of this assignment: 20/30
