Model Photo

http://www.modelsinfluence.com/wp-content/themes/model-influence/images/model_06.jpg
You can tell there were a lot of edits and adjustments to this photo because she almost looks too perfect. All of her features are very smooth and her features are bright and stand out. It's most likely that the individual levels of the features were adjusted as well as the skin was smoothed out and healed using a healing brush.

Bird in the window

I really like the angle of this photo. It really gives you the impression that you are small and looking straight up to the top of the building. The photo has a decent contrast with the black and white and has really very little going on, which really helps to draw your eyes upwards at the sky, and especially straight at the bird. This composition uses a rule of thirds because the top of the building falls at an interesting angle in the photo. Overall a really nice and interesting photo. 

Leaves

The complimentary colors in this photo are really nice. The bright shades of green and red really compliment each other. I also like the way that the front leafs softly lay overtop of the bottom ones and the rest is kind of faded into the background which gives a really soft look to this overall really vibrant composition. 

Pink Flowers

This is a really nice photograph. I like the contrast between the pink and the green of the background leaves. I love the way that it kind of fades into the background as its blurred. The really soft colors look nice in this photograph and really give a mood of  being shot on a bright sunny day. 

Dandelions

I love the way the dandelions surround the entire edge of the photo and the contrast between them and the sky. This photo is really simple but does a really good job of really bringing the viewer into the shot and feeling like theyre looking up too.

Wet Branch

I really like the lighting in this photo. you can really see the glisten in every one of the water droplets on this branch. I also like that the background is blurred and it fades out to a darker color on the edge, which really helps lead your eye from one side of the branch to the other. The contrast between the foreground and background is nice because you still get the idea without the photo itself being too busy or cluttered. Overall a really nice photo. 

Light in the Trees

This is a really good example of levels in a photograph. The light coming through the trees is perfectly lit and the trees are just dark enough that they arent disappearing but they provide enough contrast against the light to make a really contrasted and interesting photo. Even though there is so much going on, it's still easy to see all the trees and branches and they come together really nicely.
