Bright Afternoon


Photo By: Ali H.
I took this photo one day after school in my backyard. I looked up and liked the contrast of the green tree against the bright blue sky so I attempted to get a photo looking up at the top of the tree. This was pretty much how the photo turned out, and all I adjusted was the brightness and contrast to make the colors stand out a little bolder. I am fairly happy with the results but I would have liked to spend more time trying different angles and perspectives to try to get a few more shots.

This is an awesome picture! I like the way you used the leading line of the tree to lead your eyes through the picture. The depth of field is also very good. I like the clarity of the stump and the leaves. The only distracting element of the picture is the small branch sticking out of the middle left side of the tree. I think the picture would be better if you cloned this out. Otherwise, amazing job!

I really like this picture. What kind of tree is this? The contrasting blue and green makes the picture really vibrant. Taking the picture from this angle emphasizes the superiority of the tree in comparison to other things.

This is a nice photo with great colors but I wish the tree hadn't been cut out on the right side and I could do without the branch on the left side.
Great contrasting colors though!
