 * My Piece**

My final piece is a very symbolic snapshot of one's youth. I attempted to capture leading lines in this photo. The branches are sprawling askew which work against the slow curves on the tree trunk, the straightness of the "DO NOT ENTER" sign, and the flatness of the trees and school in the background. My piece leaves one distracted, but in a good way. All the different shapes, colors, and textures in this piece leave the audience thinking. I attempted to enhance the texture of the tree's trunk as well as the trees in back. If you happen to notice, the trees in the back of this snapshot are rather orderly. Now, if you take a look at the lone, dead tree, it becomes clear that they both are very different. The tree in the center of this piece is withered, struggling to stay alive; alone. While the other trees that are heaped together happen to be thick and strong; living. Though this piece is not the most realistic, I believe it sends out a very strong message. When youth shuts out the world, runs away from it, they begin to deteriorate emotionally and physically. The "DO NOT ENTER" sign shows warning, for one does not want to step into this labyrinth. I believe I did a wonderful job capturing the texture in the piece, but I would have liked to make the snapshot a tad more realistic. Overall, I believe the thought put into this piece is what counts the most.
