**Appreciate any comments, suggestions for improvements!!
Thank you!
1.What is the concept? What caught your attention?
Magical Place
2. Articular the story-notice mood, emotions, visual elements, sensual experience. What is happening.
Trees light up the sky
Water reflects the beauty
Reflections go deep
Stream of consciousness-I was walking along a beautiful lit up canyon. Some are darker, this one was different and sparkled. I felt happy and surprised. I saw all the amazing colors, leaves on the ground, trees glowing, blue rocks, covered with green every where, like a magical forest where elves/faires could live and play. I felt playful, like running through the leaves and water. Felt like a child seeing everything new for the first time. It was a magical forest where anything could happen. I could make 3 wishes and they would come true. Magical seeing and believing. People would live happily ever after every where. I would wish this for everyone in the world, to find a magical and enchanting place within themselves and without. No more conflicts, no more wars. Everyone lives happily ever after in a beautiful world. Beautiful people in beautiful world. This is magical, because for a moment I feel everything is as it should be-live happily ever after. There are no problems, wishes come true. Then I realize this can not happen, the visual magic is still there, but my mind starts thinking of the real world with much pain and suffering. I remember some quote I heard about magic working through us, not around us, but through us. Wonder how I can help, in my small way. Magical me to transform the world in some way?
Awareness-When I began writing thought this would be more about the magical forest and all the visual stimulation which I strongly felt. Surprised the magical turned inwards and wanted a magical world where there would be no suffering or wars, and people would live happily ever after as in fairy tales
3. Visualize the photograph. Composition, technical details, post processing, etc.
I wanted to focus and emphasize the magical part I experienced and felt: leaving out the sky, wanting an intimate and magical feeling, showing the light on the trees, everything covered with moss and leaves, mystical water in the middle, cliffs surrounding the area for a cozy and intimate feeling, variety of colors contribute to the mood, texture of moss
Every element seems to support the theme of magical. They interact well together. Writing this makes me aware of all the elements supporting the theme or concept, main message, subject. Identifying the concept or theme first helps with the composition-what I want to include or exclude, how to simplify to express the concept, what relationships to include.
This was fun and helpful!
