Research:
I thought both of these photos were interesting because it captures the mountains with a full moon and because the colors are very bright and unique. The light quality and the shadows make the image more vivid.

My 20 Photos:
These mountain images were taken at Dalton Ranch before sundown. They were all taken at different angles with different light value.

My 4 Edited:
In photoshop I did change the hue and saturation as well as add more textural details to each photo. For the second image I had edited the photo with the filter menu and under that the noise category. The image perceives to have a grainy texture to it.

Evaluation:
1.)Observe-
2.)Describe- This photograph is a 4" by 6" digital print on glossy paper in a black 8" by 10" frame of a tree and mountain. The photo was taken very close to the ground at a slightly upward angle. In the bottom 3/4 of the photo is a large puddle reflecting the other 1/4 of the image. In the upper 1/4 of the image in the middle, there is a skinny, naked tree. On the left of the tree is the ending slope of a brown and white mountain. On the far right of the image is two other tall naked trees and in between the center tree and the side tree is the sunset but in blue. The center of the sun is deep teal blue and as the circle of light expands the shade of blue lightens. The separating piece between the puddle and the background is a black fence leading down in a horizontal line down the middle of the image.
3.)Analyze- One element of design this photo incorporates would be value. Value is occurring based on the quality and color of the light on the sun and everything else on the photo. It is being used for the blue light to help differentiate the light and the rest of the image. The viewer's eye automatically sees the unusually blue light in the middle of a black and white image. This value helps create the light and dark contrast. One principal of design this photo shows would be contrast because of the value contrast. Contrast is mainly being used with the blue light and the black objects near it. Due to this certain contrast, the value is more crisp and clear. One element of design this photo incorporates would be line because all of the lines in the photo are essentially reflected in the puddle creating symmetry. One principal of design this photo shows would be balance because this image creates a visual equilibrium with the background being reflected on the puddle taking up all the foreground space.
4.)Interpret- The mood I was trying to give the viewer is a mystical feeling. With the sun being blue and all the colors in the image as either dark brown or black it gives almost an evil feeling. The purpose of this image was to take a picture of a puddle at the perfect angle to where the image looks like it was reflected across a horizontal axis.
5.)Evaluate-The image was very successful because it gives the viewer a mystical feeling with the black and white image with a blue sunset in the background. The image could use improvement such as when I took the photo I got a slice of grass on the right side of the image. Without that grass line, the image would've been perfectly reflected in the puddle.
