Merit O- Wonder



The name of this image is Wonder. I took this image on October 11th 2021 with my Canon Rebel T5 when I took a friend down to Selma to take pictures. We were actually on our way back when I saw the graveyard down there. With all the Spanish moss in the trees and the cloudy misty feel I knew I had to take some pictures. I told my friend to start walking down this path and I would just see what we could get. When I first took this image I thought it wasn't that good and it was too exposed, but I started to edit it and slowly fell in love with how it turned out. I edited it by bringing more of the color out in the trees and sky, then using the burn tool darken the sides, made my friend darker to bring him out, then blurred the sides. So between the path and the blur your eyes would follow to the middle. Overall I’m very happy with how this image came out and I don’t think I would do much to change it.

I think that this image is really cool! I love the trees and how the leaves are all different shades of green. Blurring the sides was a nice touch and the black suit really makes the subject stand out, which is really nice. The image is very pleasing to look at because it is not very harsh. Overall, I think that you did a very nice job with this image.

I love this image! I love the coloring and the composition. I like how the coloring is vibrant but not too flashy. I like the darkness of your friend because it gives really good contrast to the colorful background. I love the moss and the trees because they really add to the photo. The misty feel and the blur add a lot of character to the image. I don't think I would change anything about this image. Overall, I think you did an amazing job with this image!

I really love this picture! I love all of the trees and the path in the picture. The path nicely fits the picture and draws your eyes towards the person. The trees also nicely outline the picture. I also really like how the person is a dark figure. It makes them seem more mysterious. Truly, this picture looks like it is out of a movie. I could even see this hanging in a museum or an art exhibit.

I like how there seems to be different focuses blending in together, in some areas it looks like there is a sharp focus and in other areas it looks like it is a soft focus which brings the image together in a nice way. I think the image is cropped very nicely, I think the cropping/sizing of the image helps draw focus to the person but as well as the tree around, it is a good balance between the two. Overall I really like this image, I like how it looks mystical in a way.

I love this picture! It looks like it was painted. I like how there is a lot of focus in some spots while there is some places that are unfocused. I wouldn't change anything about this picture.

I love this photo. I really like the mystical aspect of it. It reminds me of a movie poster or a book cover. I like how you cropped it and how I can focus on the man and the trees. I don't think I would change anything about it.
