Love is

This is my love is photograph. it has many layers in terms of meaning to me. the background is of florida lake, one of the first places that i ever went with my family in maine so it holds lots of memories and just generally represent the outdoors, the person in this is my girlfriend, but it also represents just people in general, not just her. this photograph was taken in the afternoon with the sun low enough to make itself very known in the photograph this adds that yellow glow that adds more color and depth to the photograph. the person set to the right of the photo satisfies rule of thirds along with the bright middle third and the darker shadow to the left lets this photo have lots of balance. In terms of editing I think excessive use of photoshop would have detracted from this photo so I left the photo the way i took it because i very much enjoy the natural colors that it expresses, especially the golden glow of the sun.
