Ponder

After more than a few glances, this photo shows a young girl situated in the center of the photo as well as upon a rock near the sea's rocky shore. This bright young girl is shown looking off in the distance where the ocean lays and sways. Sitting up straight, the girl has her left foot planted on the sturdy rock shown in the bottom portion of this picture and also has her left hand resting upon her knee and droops downward to show no tense or strength in her hand. As the photographer and probably by just studying the picture this work was meant to be figurative. Overall it is conveying the effect of relaxation the sea has on us and how beautiful the scenery of beach can be. As for organization i placed my friend here, the young girl, Joanna in the center to emphasize her reaction to the environment surrounding her. Along with no intention the curve of the shore's rock swoops around her head which, I think give the overall upper half of the photo a nice shape and balance. This image is in focus which was indeed intended with the background with the art of depth of field which was also my intention. with the background blurred and out of focus it gives more direction to Joanna and the feelings she might portray. During this shoot i intended this picture to give off the feeling of relaxation and peace. Here Joanna looks to be at ease but also seem to be enjoying the sea's comfort. Iam sure that this photo can be taken as dark or light but as the photographer I intended for this photo to give off a feeling of lightness. This photo was taken outdoors, around sunset at Ocean Beach's sunset cliffs on a partly cloudy Sunday afternoon.
