In the style of Todd Murphy

     For this assignment, we were told to find a photographer we liked, pick a photo, and copy the artist's style. I chose Todd Murphy (link below of his photo) because he mostly works with texture and beautiful sceneries. His style is also similar to mine, allowing me to build upon my choice of style.
     This is a photo of a tree, taken from an upward angle. This piece has a sense of balance due to all the many branches and not necessarily having a focal point.  Because it does not really have a focal point, the lines of the trees, create movement throughout the piece.
     I feel as though this piece was not all that successful because Todd Murphy seems to choose his lighting/weather very carefully, creating a different mood than what I had done. I had a limited amount of time, usually in the afternoon, resulting in a clear sky rather than the cloudy lighting. However, concerning editing, I believe this would be the best I could do.
