This piece is for the Personal Collage project that was assigned to us a few months back, in which you needed to put things important to you in it. Something that I noticed was that opacity was to be pretty low to blend it in seamlessly with the background, I may have overdone it. The opacity of my objects is so low, only a few are even basically visible, which detracts from the look of this piece.
It has no pattern, being a landscape kind of picture, with the sun contrasting with the shadows resulting from sundown. It was supposed to be that the objects important to me were going to be emphasized, but the opacity on them makes them for almost all purposes invisible. It has asymmetrical balance and I believe uses Unity well, because everything looks in place except the objects with terrible opacity values.
This piece actually has a message unlike most of the other ones, and this picture I took on the beach at 6-7PM recently. To get it, I basically waited for about ten minutes or so for the sunset to look good enough for the picture, then I lined up a faraway boat with two people standing on the beach. The message in this picture has to do something with spending time with people, it certainly won't last forever, why not enjoy the moments.
I felt that this was mildly successful, because although I got the scenery part of the piece right, I messed up the personal objects part. Despite the lack of visibility on the personal objects, I remember a version I made of it where it was possible to see them, I disguised them because they looked terrible with too much opacity, apparently I got the combination wrong and they are too see clear.
