Stylized Photo

The inspiration for this photo, according to my style, the morning sunrises that I use to take every time I was at the beach every summer since 2013 or even earlier. The only exception is that it is the sunrise behind some trees. My phone's PRO mode settings were at 1/2000 exposure, ISO 50, and WB 5500 daylight. With the low exposure, it makes the photo seemingly what you may view the sunrise when you live on the outskirts of town on a private road. I did not edit the photo in Photoshop as I wanted to keep the authenticity of the photo. The mood it gives off is a quiet, late winter morning only to be interrupted by the leafless trees. I did take the photo right outside my front door just as the sun was rising behind my neighbor's house. The leafless trees make a natural frame, containing the sun with the blue sky and yellow-orange sun as compliments to one another. The strongest element in the photo is the sun with the trees and house surrounding it because the sun peeking from behind the trailer home resemble the light of a new day and the trees acting as a natural container around it act as the darkness of the previous day. The weakest element may have to be the blue sky space because there is nothing interacting in the space although the blue represents the calmness of the day. From this assignment, I did harness my imaginative yet natural style without the aid of digital editing although I could have tweaked the brightness just a smudge.
