"Peaceful Lake"

Julianne F.
This was taken at Camp Hargis on October 4th.  I edited it by cropping, enhancing, and boosting the color on iPhoto. In Photoshop, I edited the layers using curves, hue/saturation, and brightness/contrast. I also used the clone stamp to remove buoys in the water and a sign in the middle of the picture.

I like the deep depth of field this picture has. This along with the contrast of the shadows on the foreground against the light trees and bright sky draws the viewers eye to look across the water. This aspect creates a mood of curiosity as the viewer is enticed to see what else is across the water. I think this picture could be better if the rule of thirds was used and the trees ran across the top third of the photo instead of through the middle.

This is a really cool picture. I like how the shadows are evenly spaced out throughout the whole picture. I think that you changed the saturation perfectly. The contrast between the trees and the water give the picture a peaceful feel.

I like the colors and layers of this picture. Layers meaning the sky, trees, water and ground. It makes it look really good. I also like the focus its really clear. I would like to see this picture in black and white.

Hey Julianne!
I love this picture. I love the serenity of this picture. I love the contrast between the bottom and the top of the picture. I like how you used the layers and curves to change the picture.

This is a very great picture in the fact that you can see both the sides of the lake in the photo. I like the contrast and that it is not to bright and is not too dark although the color seems some what unrealistic. I do like the depth of the field because of the area in encompasses. Good Job!
