Light+as+Subject+Matter+Reflection

I enjoyed doing the light as subject matter project because it made me look at things in different ways just because of how the light was. This was actually my favorite part, finding the right thing to photograph and determining which angle to take it from. At first I though that my photograph wasn't very good because it was very simple but after the critque I saw it differently. I saw my picture as good because of its simplicity becasue sometime, some of the best things can be the most simple ones. Also, my photograph had texture that made it look real. I learned that having the right texture can make whoever is looking at the photograph feel like they can touch what is in it. In my case, the grass was life-like because of the element of texture. I ended up surprising myself because I didn't think that I could take a picture that looked so life-like. However, I didn't like one part of this project. My least favorite part was mounting the photograph. I didn't know how hard it was to do this properly, especially cutting the photograph. I found it hard to get it to be straight; I had to cut off some of the photograh itself to get it to be close to straight. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to be perfectly straight. That is what I want to focus on for my next project. I think that if my photograph is straight I would like the overall look much better.
