Representation of relationships

The relationship this image shows would be the relationship between nature and man, this would be because the image shows some sort of moss growing on the concrete of a fence, the image shows this relationship as the concrete is a man made fence and it shows how nature can adapt to certain situations to live.

Formal Elements

There are multiple formal elements in this image, it includes formal elements such as line, this is because the fence creates a line going across like the concrete does, but it also creates a line going upwards. On top of that there are multiple lines in the background of this image. Another element would be texture, the texture in this image is from the concrete and the moss which is not the subject, these two things are in focus so you can see the texture more clearer. The element would be colour, this is because the colours in this image though not many, stand out, there are greens, browns and greys. The edit of the image makes the colours more vibrant.

Compositional Elements

The elements that you can see in this image would be leading lines, there is a leading line to the right of the image, this is a focus to your eyes, it makes the image more interesting to look at. Another element that you can see in this image would be rule of thirds, this is because if you look at the moss in focus it is to the left of the image, this helps to balance my image and make it more interesting to look at. The viewpoint of this image is a not a usual viewpoint, it is directly in front of the moss. The depth of field in this image would be a shallow depth, this is because there is little in focus in the image.

Photoshop Process

During the process of using photoshop for the image, I used the burn tool to make the image darker and then I changed the brightness to make it a little brighter, though it may of contradicted what I just did the burn tool is not the same as making the image darker with the brightness. After doing this I then went on to posterise and used that tool, I did not used a hard posterise, I made it just so the background where the cars and leading line is posterised.

Critique

This image though my own, I do not personally like, I only like the moss and hoe detailed it looks, I feel as though the background is all off as it is pretty messy, I could of found another place to shoot some moss with a less busy background to make the image stronger.
