Abstract Photos
a.) These pictures represent movement by the position of my main subject in the picture. They way he is posed is showing he is going to kick the soccer ball. His arms are spread wide and he is leaning back to get his power in the kick.
b.) The techniques I used to create an illusion was contrast to make the pictures colors pop more and make it more dramatic.

portrait pictures
I edited these three portrait pictures to the way it looks best in my eye. With the first picture I wanted to darken more of the background and make the side of her face a bit lighter making it the main focus. On the second picture I chose black and white because it looked the best. It compliments her smile and she's looking away so making it black and white made it a little more dramatic. In the third picture I also wanted to darken the back and make her on the swing the main focus making it brighter.
nature pictures
These 3 nature photos would have to be my favorite out of the 50 because of they position I took it with. Lighting is a big part of a picture especially with natural sunlight it makes the picture your taking 10x better. With the first photo I was focusing more on the leaves and the grapes in the background are blurred out. In the second picture I wanted to focus more on the purple grapes and blur out the other ones in the back. For the third picture I took a picture of a birdhouse hanging from a tree, leaving the main object on the side of the photo focusing on the bird house and the branch then blurring the leaves in the back.
