Anglo Saxon

So in my first photo I decided to change to the brightness and contrast within my black and white photo. I also played around with the tone and decided to darken the bottom right hand corner in the photo. My second photo is almost fading to white instead of black. I chose these colors because it reminded of the sun setting and how my eyes adjust to the sun right before it sets. That hot pink color that forces one to immediately find some cool shades. The reason why I choose to make these changes to the photos is not as important to me as what the photo was actually saying to me as I was making the changes. I played around the with photo until it finally captured my imagination. I feel as if the background is far more interesting then the woman in the photo itself which says well....a lot.
