Landscape

I am calling this project "Spring Dip" because this was taken when going on my first swim in the pond of the year. The subject is a landscape based off of the pond and its rope swing. I chose to create this specific work because I wanted to show the pond in the spring when the trees still don't have leaves and the sun isn't out, it shows a kind of gloomy pond. I used a variety of techniques including high horizon line. When creating this work, I struggled with the lighting, it wasn't sunny out which resulted in a dark photo. If I created another work like this I would meter better or dodge and burn this photo. My work shows that I learned to create a landscape photograph.
