Attraction/Repulsion



My attractive images above did not require much editing. I chose to photograph beads because most people find beads or gems attractive because of the bright colors and shine. For that image I did a gaussian blur and made the image lighter(instead of selecting overlay). I did not enhance the flower, which I chose because it looked feathery and very soft.


I chose to photograph rust and moss for my repulsive images. I found a cool example of rust on the vent on the grill in my backyard. I used a gaussian blur and increased the saturation slightly to make the colors bolder and increase the contrast a bit. There's a tree in my yard that is covered in moss. My favorite part is the gray patch of it, but getting a closer shot of the gray moss I found difficult to focus well. I did a gaussian blur, erasing the blur over the moss to keep the detail.
