The Picture on the very left is my favorite, because this guy portrayed what a normal photograph could never portray! I love how the city is faded into the ocean and it grabs your attention to it at first. This image has great contrast because the back ground matches the faded city as if that it wasn't photoshopped that it's actually there. The ripples or slight waves in the ocean show texture and it adds to the reality of the picture. The image is what we call a mindscape, because it is not actually real but it is made to look real (using photoshop) to portray perhaps something that we imagined. I feel like the artist wanted to give a mysterious vibe because the city is faded into the night sky it makes you start to wonder whats in the city and why is it in the middle of the ocean.

The middle picture is what is known as a cityscape because the photograph primarily takes place in the city there fore "cityscape". I think that this image shows great unity because the moon really makes the picture but it wouldn't be the same without all its components, the city, the moon, the night sky etc. The choice of contrast also accentuates the picture greatly, the shade of purple pops with the dark starry back ground. The ripples or the "movement" in the sky draws you to the city.The artist most likely wanted to portray a more spooky side to this city i feel this because the picture has the full moon and darker colors.

The last picture on the right is also one that caught my eye. Unlike the other two pictures this image is black and white and gives us a more depressed or calm feeling with its great contrast of greys and whites. The path demonstrates leading lines and the grass shows us very real texture. What i love is that the path leads us to the couple that is unfocused and sort of off into the distance and makes us stop and look around at the trees and the forest type setting to understand where this couple is and where they might be going. The artist most likely wanted to portray this landscape as a dwelling deep place to be because alot of memories are made.
