Attractive

My goal: Take "attractive" pictures. Finding pretty flowers, or beautiful people would be easy for this assignment, but that isn't the only thing that can make a picture look attractive. Like with a repulsive picture, the attractiveness is found in qualities like line, movement, compostion, and color. Specific moods can be created simply by using one of those qualities in an efficient way, and mood and attraction are connected. Things with a pleasant mood will appear attractive, while things with an unpleasant mood will appear repulsive. Take the two photos above, these are attractive images, found in unusual places. The first is a broken window, but the movement and soft colors make it attractive. Similarly, the rough tree bark and branches flow outward making a very attractive picture.

Now to further my point, picture the tree on a rainy day. When the sky is dark and the shadows are heavy. Those lines that look so peaceful now, would look threatening. And the dark, green blue hue would give a sickly glow to the tree, making it repulsive.

The mood can easily be changed by paying attention to line, movement, composition, and color, and by using those key things, a picture can be made attractive or repulsive.

These photographs relate to the example photograph I found on the internet of the water reflection, because of the line, movement, and color that make the picture appear attractive.
