Ashley P- Leaf Heart


I took this picture one night when my friends and I were trying to build a fire, but weren't being very successful. I was sent to pick up leaves and found one shaped as heart, so of course I took a picture! I took it using my iPhone and for editing it I sharped and deepened the color on the leaf; then turned everything but the leaf black and white and blurred it all.

Ashley P.,
I really like this picture. The focus on the leaf and how the background is slightly blurred is very good. I also like how you make the subject stand out in it's color and the unimportant things black & white.

I love the contrast and the dark red color. I love deep reds and the leaf looks beautiful in a deep red. I like how close it is but I think you could have blurred your hand more.

I love this picture! I really like how the red leaf is the only thing that is colored. The contrast and exposure really make this picture pretty! good job!

I really like this picture! I love how creative it is with how the leaf is shaped like a heart and that it is red. It also has good focus. The only thing I would suggest is to find a good background for it. Other than that it is great.

I like how the focus on the leaf is so sharp; each vain is visible, and with the color specification, the leaf really stands out and looks like a heart. I think this could have been cropped a little more to focus on the leaf a little more. The leaves in the background are a little distracting. I like this photo though; it gives a happy mood.

Nice picture! The effects really help get this picture over the top. I love how you decided not to saturate the red too much, and left it dark. It blends in really well with the background. Only thing I would change is to try to get some more of the background towards the top of the picture to come out a little bit.

I like the focus on the leaf. The black and white background emphasizes the leaf. This picture is well cropped bringing attention to the main subject. I would like to have this picture as my lock screen on my phone.

I love this picture because the leaf is the only thing in color. I also like that is not in the direct center of the picture. I would have cropped more of the shadow on your hand out but otherwise it is a great picture!!

Ashley,
You have taken a wonderful picture. I really like how the leaf heart stands out. The red color is very prominent and shows up very clearly. It contrasts very nicely with the black and white background. The only change I would do is to crop out the shadow on the fingers. Additionally, I would boost the red color.
