The image that I took was a picture of my neighborhood at night, in which it is solitary and is not eventful at all. A couple of plants are the focal point of the picture, surrounded by cars in the background with the street light on and houses. This picture reflects upon the idea of reflection itself as it gives off the vibe of thinking about life and just ending off the night. All of the different focal points of the picture come together to create an image of somberness and even isolation in a sense as it indicates how being out at night is so quiet and can be used as a time to reflect. I lowered the exposure and the contrast to further expand upon and give off the impression of an unsettling and quiet night in which one is awake where most are away in their homes and it projects a reflective state of mind. These elements along with the street lights and the business that is open in the picture come together to appeal to the audience that the quietness of nights have a sense of isolation which can indicate a certain ease of mind while also being nerving. The genre of this art is abstract, as it has several different components such as the street lights, the business in the background, the nonmoving plants and mini trees, the cars and the houses to imply how nights are mysterious and isolated which can lead to a moment of reflection.
