In this photograph, I tried to focus on the color scheme. The majority of the colors are close to each other on the color wheel; cool blues, grays, and whites. The use of analogous colors helps to tie together the photograph, unifying it more than if a different color scheme were employed. Furthermore, I utilized the rule of thirds in composition to balance between the subject, foreground, and background.
Emphasis was the principle of design I wanted to focus on in this photograph. Although instead of drawing the viewer's eye to part of the photograph that is in focus--the feathers of the pigeon--I chose to composed the photograph so the girl's face is the focal point of the piece. To accomplish this, I included her black hat in the photo for the sake of contrast.
I loved the tonal value of this photograph; the gradient between the shadowy regions and the highlights. The contrast further helped to emphasize the texture of the girl's mask, her hair, and the beads on her dress. Also, the colors of her mask and dress were warm-toned; light brown and orange, in contrast with the cooler tones of the background.
