Reading Response – Ch. 3

The sunset throws its vibrant colors on the sandy shore and blue waters. It highlights the foam from the ocean water during sunsets’ low tide. [Photo Credits: Natalie Austin]
The text this chapter talks about creating interesting composition using photography elements. I used this image because I liked the texture from the water and the way the light puts definition onto the water and the foam that is forming. I also really liked the lines that were in this photo. The water creates a triangle at the bottom where the two water lines start to pull together and then you can see a definite line as to where the two different waves came together. I liked the leading lines in the back of the image from where the wave crashed it draws the audiences eyes up towards the front and center of the image. I think for improving this image I think it would be cool to have some sort of human element within the composition. This maybe could have been a physical person or even just a foot print getting washed away.
