Lesson 3 - graphic b

Description

: Toes in the Water
An attempted surrealistic treatment, I modified significantly using levels and sharpening.
To self-critique using Jim’s five elements from the lesson plan:
1. Beautiful shape – so-so, although the woman appears attractive.
2. Simple design – moderately so; two strong horizontals, a strong vertical; a strong diagonal.
3. Uncluttered backgrounds – very much so.
4. Clean lines – Yes, but at my first glance, I thought the toes should’ve been above the horizon; then quickly realized, this adds an element of imagination. So I didn’t lower the water line in Adobe.
5. Lighting – heavy contrast – on purpose. I think that works here.
