This photo was taken in North Carolina over the summer, and it happened to be my first time kayaking. I chose this photograph because it immediately puts me right back to where I was- happy, carefree and accompanied by one of my favorite people.
The vast range of color changes occurring in this image instantly captures my attention. The kayak's orange and yellow hues greatly contrast with the surrounding trees and water. In a sense, it creates a visual spectacle because of the range of intensity seen throughout the photograph. At the front of the kayak, the color transforms from a defined orange hue to a yellowish intensity. This photo also represents a significant difference in nature's value of color. In the broad sunlight, you can clearly see the trees and bushes' texture. On the other hand, the left side embodies a dark versus light complex. The varying trees show a range of value, from a vibrant green to more of a forest green, and finally almost completely black as your eyes meet at the waterline.
Aside from the color scheme, you can see a texturized feel at the bottom of the river. The way the light hits the water, you get a glimpse into what's lurking beneath the kayak. In this shot, it looks murky and rough, but as I made my way through the river, I saw small schools of fish.
Although the water shows movement, the defined horizontal line in the back create this still feeling. At the same time, the curving tree-line insinuates that there is more beyond what is pictured for the audience.
