2 Portraits

For this picture I turned it to black and white for a different effect. I also used the sharpening effect on this picture to make it even stronger looking.
On this picture i did a blur overlay which made the bright colors come out even more. I also placed her so that the sun was somewhat behind her. This position made the sun really out line her and mainly her hair which i really liked.

Color Photos

Blue
Depression/ Sadness

The color blue represents sadness. The overall picture says sad, and i think that the color blue adds to that feeling. To this picture I saturated the background. I also used saturation on Arianna's shirt and her blue eyes to make them brighter and stand out in the picture more.

Yellow
Energy/ Happiness

Yellow is a very energetic and happy color when i see this picture it is what i think of. To this picture I saturated the background to make Karly standout more. I also made the Yellow in her shirt brighter and also the yellow lines on the ground brighter.

Green
Calming
When i think of green I think of the calming effect it has on people. I wanted to capture this in a picture. I liked the lighting because it was soft while still having a lot of light in the background. I also blurred this picture because i think it adds to the softer look/ feeling.

Yellow wallpaper

After reading The Yellow Wallpaper I could tell that this women was truly sad and depressed and even going mad after being forced to stay in this room. The only thing this women really has to think about is how ugly the yellow wallpaper in the room is. I wanted to include the ugly yellow color as well as the person mood. I also blured the edges of Marlee's hair and shirt so it seemed like the color was taking over her in a sence. I wish that i would have made the opacity more on Marlee so that I would get that effect more.

Attractive/ Repulsive

RepulsiveI used this as my repulsive picture. When you first look at this you see what looks like flowers and their bright colors. Although when you look at it longer you see that it is actually repulsive because of the fact that they are weeds and would be a pain. I did a color overlay on this picture to make the colors pop more.I chose this as one of my repulsive picture because you it is very old and grimy. This also has a butterfly on it and to a viewer such as me that makes the picture very repulsive. To this picture i lowered the saturation to lower how bright the colors were.

Attractive
I chose this picture for my attractive picture because i really liked how the plant looks. Although this used to be alive and really pretty it is dieing now. Even though it is dieing i really liked the way all the twigs intertwine together and for me it made it attractive. I used a color overlay on this picture.
For one of my attractive pictures I used my dog. Although she is old and very gray in the face she is still attractive. She may not be as attractive as she used to be but i still think shes attractive. I used color Overlay to help make the colors brighter.
