I chose brown because it's a rich, earthy color which can be found even in the dead of winter. I shot the park restroom, branches and dumpster in the late afternoon while the sun was setting. The art was taken inside my house with natural light. The only change I made to any of the photographs was the park restroom. I added a brown photo filter and cropped it just a bit. I didn't touch the others. I shot most of them with aperture priority. I really don't know how to use my camera yet, but hopefully I'll get the hang of it. Also, the file information in Photoshop didn't tell me my shutter speed. I have no idea why.

You caught some great lighting on the dumpster photo and the angle of the tree is exceptional. Keep up the good work.

I also really like the lighting on the dumpster photo; it totally makes the photo. Same with the branches. You really did make the brown look rich. Your work is beautiful!

Brown was a really good color choice. I really love the park restroom. It looks like a cute little cottage rather than a restroom. I like how you were able to capture the color and look. Good job Courtney!
