Week 2, Sophia Higgins, Cumberland River

 

Hello everyone! During summer break, my brother took this wonderful image of me and the sunset along the Cumberland River (in Nashville, Tennessee). In person, the sunset was much more captivating than displayed here in the photograph. 

I chose this image because the sunset has such a bright radiance which blends well with the clouds above creating a sort of peachy colour amongst the clouds. I also really love how the sunlight is reflected onto the river creating a blend between the sunlight's orangey colour mixed with the river's more grey colour. 

However, my favorite part of this photograph is how my, then, purple hair looked when the sun rays hit it. I had a deeper purple in my hair, but combined with the amber colour made it look much lighter and pinker. 

This image inspires my creative mind in a more colorful way. I would love to use warm and cool tones to create a sunset look because this photo makes me feel light hearted and joyful.
