SYMMETRY
Wheelchair
For Wheelchair I used a picture of the handicap symbol painted in the parking lot near my house. I really liked the contrast of the blue against the pavement. I'm also really happy how the texture of the pavement came out.
Fire Lane
Fire Lane is a symmetrical image of a "NO PARKING FIRE LANE" sign. I really liked the variations of the cracked paint on it and the designs it further created in the image after reflecting it. If I were to retake this, though, I would probably try to get more of the text in the frame.

STOP
For STOP I took a picture of a stop sign with some reflections on it. I think the reflections really added to the composition of the piece because they gave variation in the red of the sign. I wish I could have captured more in the reflection but over all I'm pretty happy with it.
Dump Waste
This is a reflected photograph of some of the text on a drain which reads "DUMP NO WASTE LEADS TO WATERWAY". I'm really happy with the texture and look of the rusted metal up against the bright green grass. This is probably my favorite symmetry picture out of all the ones I took.

Coat Hooks
Coat Hooks was taken in the common house in the community I live in. I feel like the dim lighting on the finished wooden background gave the photo a nice, warm feel and allowed more contrast between the texture of the wood and the texture of the coat hooks. If I were to retake this picture I would probably make sure to have the shadows of the coat hooks line up more smoothly.
MASKS
Peel
I really like the soft pinks among the yellow and oranges of the flow. Also, the petals in Peel Remind me of a peeling banana, hence its name.
Grey to Red
At first when I was editing Grey to Red I was going to make the text on the exit sign red and the rest black and white. Later on I decided to make the text black and white and the rest in color to make it look like the grey text is still somehow giving off red light. I definitely like it this way better.

Loner
This flower was leaning away from all the others. I like the smooth transition of black and white to the white of the petals to to yellow on the inner petals.
Different
I wanted to make both a few of the leaves and one of the flowers in color. The flower is much more subtle than the leaves which I like.

Stand out
The colored flower in Stand Out is also quite subtle. I like how subtle it is though. I feel like it makes the image more calm.
