These photos were taken mostly at Albert park. When I take images I take a monochrome and colour then decide which one looks best to show. I like colour enhances the definition of the image meanwhile monochrome focuses on shades. Even though it is a overcast day the sun still shone through the branches to give rays of light and difference in tones which is what I was after. I used my standard lens rather then my zoom so I could get the whole tree rather than part. I also didn’t want to depth of field for this task unless if it was for the building. I also had to be careful on what angle I used for the tree photographs as the sun was beaming heavily through the leaves it would create a light circle that ruins the image.
Here are some of my failed images:
The light was too intense at that moment so I changed my angle slightly and used a tree branch to block the harsh light. For the palm tree crane image I was trying to link nature with manmade structures. Lining the palm tree up to the crane to make it look like the palm tree is part of the crane.

I like the top search response more as there is leading line, shadow, composition, rule of thirds and colour etc that draws our attention to the person in the middle.
