elements of art.

f/5.3, 1/200
i like this one because of the light coming in from the background and the sepia tone of the picture.

f/7.4, 1/1600
this one also gets my attention because of the focal point created by the white of the light contrasted by the black foreground.

 f/3.7, 1/500
i like this picture mostly because of the touching up i did on it. the blur of the train and the saturation of color in only a few spots along with the black vignette draws me in.

f/10.0, 1/500
it isn't the sepia tone of this picture that i like - it's the contrast. i think that's what i find most alluring about pictures because my favorites vary from black and white, sepia, to highly saturated color. again, though, this one has the contrast and movement that i find interesting.

f/7.4, 1/640
blue is one of my favorite colors - the sky draws me in right away. this picture almost reminds me of a cartoon and at first i have trouble figuring out what i'm looking at - again the high contrast or blue, black and white it what i find intriguing about this picture.
