Clean Slate- Rain Collection

New beginnings means to start fresh- clean. Rain has always made me think of new beginnings because the rain washes away any impurities around me. Circular Patterns are the inspiration for this photograph. This picture is a reflection of the rearview mirrors on my car. The water droplets create hundreds of tiny circles. While taking this photo, it was pitch black outside. When a car began to drive in my direction, it’s headlights merged in one perfect circle in the mirror. This highlights circular patterns perfectly.

To edit this picture, I played with the curves slightly, but the main edits come from the individual colors. I turned down the saturation in every color except for yellow, brining emphasis to the large circle in the middle. “Clean Slate” is part of my Rain Collection.
