Photographic Intent

For this assignment, we were given some options for a picture, I chose the first one which consisted of rule of thirds, and a barren/isolated mood. To create this image, I was going for a mainer theme. I purposely used a location (in front of my fireplae) because it's rocky, and I also wanted to make sure I included some of the wood floor. What I really like about this image is the lighting because it was taken directly infront of a window so all the light was completely natural. This image uses rule of thirds, leading lines, some grouping. I like how natural and almost effortless this image is. For editing, all I did was sharpen it a litte, adjust the saturation and brighten the colors all the way before making it black and white.
