·         Mysterious, what’s behind that fog?

·         Feel like you are following her

·         There’s some sort of track but where does it lead?

·         Monotone grading- cold

·         Subtle green/red contrast

·         Small burst of red/warmth amongst cold, bland background

·         Empty expanse, going nowhere?

·         Been on a long walk?

·         Alone, quiet

·         Greeny brown tones make image look dull, cold, miserable

·         Cold- you can see breath

·         Backlight picks out figure and tree branches

·         Just discovered a magical place

·         Monotone green/blues- cool, chilled out

·         Rocks melt away in the water

·         Vibrant, contrasty image with plenty of crushed blacks- angry, stressed, upset?

·         Surrounded, alone

·         What are you feeling?

·         Fun, friends, happiness, joy

·         Light from car- not artificial

·         Mysterious

·         Unnatural blue glow

·         Silhouetted- who are these people?

·         Could make an environment out of these

·         Magical moments happen for a split second but then are lost forever

·         There is another world within our world

·         Looks impossible

·         Smooth colour transitions

·         Interesting reflections

Noukka Signe

·         Double exposure photograph creates cool reflection/flare effect

·         Sun so bright that it engulfs some of the image

·         What is she thinking about?

·         Strong backlight clearly defines legs

·         Casts long shadows which lead to the camera

·         Colourful, fun

·         Curvature of pavement enhances ‘bouncy’ feel

·         Long shadow sells the jump

·         Dead-centre shoes, nice composition

·         Legs lead out of the frame making the jump look really high

·         Who are you?

·         Cool tone- perhaps sad?

·         ‘Eyes are the windows to the soul’ – maybe you can work out something about this girl?

·         Playing with lip- nervous?

·         Flare obscures face- slight mystery

·         Winter morning- edges of frame are cool- winter hat

·         Softly silhouetted- nice strong shapes
