Objectives
I want to take pictures of a creek by my house that is really pretty and has bright aspen trees everywhere around it. My main objective is too take a picture of the creek and make all the colors of the leaves bright so that they pop out.

Research
I like these pictures because they have a variety of colors and different shades of color. They all have different tones to them and I like that. Even though all of them are taken in the same general direction, the cameras are offset just a little bit in each which helps me decide how I want to take my photos.

My 20 New Photos
I took these pictures at a creek by my house. I have always loved that creek and I'm happy I got pictures of it. I found this sign that I really liked because it looked really rustic and I took pictures of those which I really like. I also took many different shots of the river, some off center, some straight down the middle of the river.

My Four Edited Photos
These four pictures that I edited all have different things about them. The first one is posterized and I really like the look of it. The second one and the fourth one don't have much editing done to them but I still like the look of them. The third one is my favorite because even though my objective was to take photos of a creek, I found this sign by the bridge and I really wanted to take a picture of it.

Describe:
I see that the sign is the picture is a darker shade of white. The sign is off center and it's more rustic than most road signs. The tree in the background is almost right behind the sign. The light leaves are much brighter than the dark leaves. Most of the bright colors in the picture are from the tree in the middle, and all the leaves have different textures and sizes. In the bottom right corner of the picture, you can see a bit of the river.

Analyze:
One Element of Design is the color which corresponds to the Principle of Design emphasis. The main color in the photo is the leaves in the trees which are close to the sign. The leaves help the sign pop out against the tree. Another Element of Design is the texture of the leaves that correspond with the Principle of Design repetition. The textures created through the bunches of leaves shows the repetitiveness of the shape of the leaves. Another Element of Design is the shape that helps the Principle of Design emphasis. The sign's shape pops out against the background, and that helps with pointing out that that's the main object.

Interpretation:
When I see this picture, I feel almost anxious because it gives a mysterious feeling. My original plan was to take a photo of this really pretty creek by my house, but I saw this sign that looked so rustic, and I really loved the pictures I took of it. They were very dramatic and almost edgy and I really like them. When I see this picture, I am reminded that even though our world is getting advanced with all these new things, there is always something out there that is older and it won't go away.
