For this photoblog, I was supposed to capture warmth and so I took a photo of a rose that I got from my teacher. She hosted a rose ceremony that we do when a semester is about to end just to check how we are doing with our grades. If it reaches the goal or above, then you get a rose. I was really glad I got one, so I tried to take care of it by putting it in a vase with water beside my window. I didn’t notice the light from the balcony was on when I turned the lights off. I was ready to leave but, when I turned around I was amazed by how the position of the light was very eye-pleasing and gave an aesthetic feeling. There was no hesitation from me when I took this photo. Some editing that I did was cropping it to give it the attention it needs and I left the black borders to help lead the eye. With the blend modes of multiply and brush tool, I made the background darker and the rose pop. Even though this may not show as much warmth, I did feel it when taking this photo. Unfortunately, this rose is dead (I’m really bad at taking care of plants/flowers) but I was still glad I got this shot before it did…RIP.
