Dorie 3


This was the first image I played around with for this assignment. In the original photo for this image, she was actually quite indistinct amongst her surroundings since the photo encompassed such an expansive area. So naturally the first thing I did was to crop the photo down using the rule of thirds guide option to make a stronger composition centered on Dorie. I made the contrast a little bit stronger, but not by much. The same goes for the brightness of the image. The main thing I did besides cropping it a fair bit, was to adjust the color balance. I ended up with a red-ish tint to everything, but I kind of liked the effect so I left it.

the rule of thirds is clear in the composition. the reddish tint is nice .

Good use of cropping. An even more vertical composition might make this even stronger.
