Horizon Two

Horizon Two follows the same concept as Horizon One. This image however, we were asked to make the street the specific point of design. So in the cropping of this product there should be very little explanation on what the point of design is in this photo.

The only tool that was used during this picture and Horizon One was the crop tool. It is a simple tool but one that can make the biggest difference in a picture. Here the point of design is the street. Like Horizon One, I took out a large portion of the skyline to allow the street to be the main image that viewers would take away from this picture. I felt that this image was much easier to crop and create a point of design. I really like how the road just emerges from the bottom of the photo and just keeps going into the distance. The viewers I feel would be focused on the same thing. The street lights overhead almost make the pathway below and are a good sense of line direction for the photo. While reading Krause, there was an exercise on page 25 that emphasized on how important cropping is when it comes to landscape. "Visual drama can be enhanced by cropping images so that the horizon is clearly above or below the center of the image."(P 25) I felt as though I tried to do that to the best of my abilities. One thing however that I wish I would have cropped more was the skyline. There seems to be still too much of it there and while the focal point seems more clear than before it was cropped, I think less skyline would really make the street stand out that much more.
