Connecting Essay 4

I really like how vibrant the flower is in this image as it really makes it pop against the out-of-focus, slightly saturated, green background and draws you in. This image is not only an example of colour photography as it also captures movement with how it has photographed the wasp flying next to the flower.

In Photoshop, I edited the vibrance and contrast in this image to make the pink in the flowers seem much brighter and therefore pop. I like the effect this gave as the brightness brought out the details in the image and allows the viewer of the image see all of the small flowers that make up the plant.

Both images are very similar. For example, they both use very bright pink flowers as the main subjects of the image and both have a background of green leaves and stalks. The flowers used are both very similar as they are both made up of groups of smaller flowers. Also, both images use a narrow depth of field to make the background out of focus and therefore bring the attention more to the flowers.

Although the images are so similar, there are still some differences. The clearest difference is that, in the first image, we see a wasp flying next to the flower. This is not seen in the second image. Also, in the my image, there  is a larger bunch of flowers shown, whereas in the first is focuses on just the one flower.
