The picture I choose was a picture I took in November last year. I remember taking this picture as I was walking by the Bailey Fountain in Brooklyn. It was a nice, windy day and using editing tools I really wanted to enhance beauty of the nature along with a relaxing view. One of the elements I used to do this was by increasing the contrast which helped the trees and the fountain pop out more as a way to admire how it looks. It was also meant to make them look sharper so that the viewer can really see the branches on the tree, the structure of the fountain and the building behind it. In addition to that I also slightly changed the hue of the picture with a dark shade of blue. This was meant to give that cool and a bit windy feel to the sky as the viewer visualizes themselves there. As well as, emphasize the autumn feeling that allows us to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature depicted by the lively colors of the leaves. The message of this image could be to enjoy life as much as possible, and when things don’t go as planned, we can look to nature for relaxation and new fresh start.
