Anna G- Reaching


The title of this image is “Reaching”. There are multiple components to this picture. I took the picture of the sky a couple months ago on a saturday night in my backyard, I took the picture of the hand a few weeks ago in my backyard on an early sunday afternoon, and I took the picture of the moon a few months ago early in the morning in my front yard. All pictures were taken with my Nikon D5100 camera. I edited this picture by making the hand black and white, seperating it from its original background. Then, I dragged the hand to the picture of the sky and made a copy of the cloud on another layer and put it above the hand layer so the hand looked like it was coming out of the cloud. Then, I separated the moon from its original background and moved it to the picture of the sky and positioned it so it was just out of the hand’s reach. I think this photo could be better if the hand looked less choppy around the edges. I wanted this picture to look like a painting from a dream, because I really like how paintings are able to capture surreal dreamlike visions and I wanted to try to capture that same feeling with photography.

I love this picture! I like the blue vibe this picture gives off-it feels kind of mysterious but calm. If it were me, I would crop this picture slightly differently to have the moon and hand slightly more in the center because they are your main subjects. Moon pictures are really impressive so good job :)

I love this photo its so inspiring to me but the one thing taht caught my eye was the little while line on the right side of the hand also if you added more starts in the left so it could be evenly but other than that's it -MF HHS
