These three texture photos show a difference in value and color. The photo of my black and white flowers show a range of contrast and a deep value. The photograph of the butterfly I really tried to use color to show emphasis and the texture of its’ miniscule hair and bright wings. The photograph of the yellow flowers, again I used colors to bring forth the textures and emphasis.

I really tried to work with colors and shadows and highlights to bring forth feelings and ideas. I wanted to give an abstract feeling to the images and force people to look. I also used texture and value to give the photos depth and emotion.
