Summer Leaf

This is an image that i took towards the end of Summer 2009. I found the leaf on the grass area towards the front of my house, i thought the contrast between the two colours was very dramatic. The green is a complimentary colour to the red, this helps the red to stand out much more and become more appealing to the viewer. The general feeling of this image is very calm and tranquil. The bright colours make it look quite loud at first glance but then when you look at it for a longer length of time you can see that the image is very calm and there isn't any movement, all the grass and the leaf are completely still. The image makes me feel very happy, the bright colours remind me of summer and the warm weather and all the good times i've had. The image acts as an emotional trigger.
