The subject for my photo essay was the flowers and other plants in the courtyard of the school. I selected the school courtyard for my photo essay because Mrs. Troutman said it would be a great place for pictures because of the recently planted flowers. The courtyard is important to me because the flowers look nice. The concept I was trying to convey was the beauty of the flowers. The photos show the vibrant colors of the flowers. I arranged the photos in a way so the colors compliment each other. The strongest photo in my essay was the ninth photo. I just think that the color is really vibrant and you can really see the detail on the flower petals. In my seventh photo the viewpoint is from above, the only light in the photo is natural light from the sun. The only editing i did was i cropped part of the image and i also adjusted the levels because the photo was originally too bright.
