In the main photograph I focused on framing my photograph with branches. I also tried create an interesting composition with trees in the foreground middle ground and background. I focused on creating a contrast between the soft texture of the ice and snow between the rough texture of the rock and the trees. To create a softer look to the photo I used a red color balance overall and slight saturation making the sky look much more soft than it did with when the sky was blue. I then had to add red color balance to the trees to even everything out so the trees didn't look harsh against the new purple color of the trees. Color, texture, and balance were the principals of design that were used in my photograph. I wanted to make the photograph seem soft so by adding the red color balance to my photograph I warmed up the photo taking away the cool tones in the sky and making my photograph appear softer. Combining different textures was the focus of this project so I wanted to create the contrast between the soft fluffy texture of the snow and the rough texture of the rock and the trees. Finally I used a balance a color and texture in my photograph overall making sure that my sky and trees color fit in the photograph so it wouldn't be out of place. Also the amount of trees and snow are pretty proportional so the roughness of the trees and rocks don't over power the softness of the ice and snow in the photograph.
