Black & White Composition

 I personally feel my "perfect" edit is the first black and white photo. I took this certain picture multiple times and each shot was different. Leaves would fall or shift because of the wind and with that particular edit I feel it gave a depth and attention to a corner pile of leaves that most would overlook. I enjoyed playing around with levels, brightness, and contrast...trying to make a still photo come to life. One effect I knew I wanted to create was this sense of gloom that also held an aspect of detail and clarity within the different tone, textures, and patterns of each leaf. I know its a pile but I wanted to give a balanced idea of light and dark in the misted of the individuality of each leaf.
