Hirtellum
Requirements 1 and 2
This photo satisfies requirements 1 and 2. It is an image of a rocky path in a park. I `used a low f-stop in aperture priority mode to focus more on the bright foreground, as I wanted a more blurry dark background to contrast the light and dark areas of the image. The path has the shape of an s-curve, which I placed in the center of the photo to divide the image in half. Initially, I did this because there were people only on one side of the path, so it created a contrast between them. In processing, I decided to edit the people out since that's what the image should have looked like in a time of social distancing, especially when there were a decent amount of people at the park that were not at the time. In lightroom, I also used tone adjustments to darken the image a bit and produce more of a contrast between the shadows and lit foreground.
