Before

After

Representation of relationships

The relationship in this image would be the relationship between nature and man, I believe this is the relationship as if you look at the image, this is because the image is of a plant which is nature, but not only any plant, it is a plant that is growing from the side of the building if you look behind the plant.

Formal Elements

There are numerous formal elements in this image, one of them being texture, you can see the texture of the plant if you look at the flower part, you can see where the plant has lived its life on the wall as the plant is now dying so now has more texture to the ends. Another element would be form, that being of the plant in focus, shape has a part in this image as well, the shapes being of the leafs of the plant. Pattern is also involved due to the pattern of the fence on the window and the wall. There is also a part of colour in this image, most of the colours are white, there are limited other colours, only a brown and green. The final element I can see in this image would be space, this is because the the subject looks almost as if it is just entering the photograph.

Compositional Elements

The compositional elements in this image are ones such as rule of third, the image has a rule of third as the subject is to the left of the image. Another element used would be viewpoint, this would be because the viewpoint is focusing on the plant end, this also makes the depth of field in this image is a shallow depth, this is because the only thing in focus is the plant rather than everything.

Photoshop Process

I used a raw file with this image so I used camera raw to edit the image. I Changed the exposure of the image, the contrast, I made the highlights and whites lighter and the blacks and shadows darker. On top of this I played around with clarity and vibrance to make the image sharper and the colours brighter.

Critique

This image I like, the only thing I don't like would be the background, this is because the background is quite messy, I feel if it wasn't as messy the image would be stronger.
