This being my first photo edited in open studio, I think it turned out pretty well. I used multi-media by matting it on a piece of wood. I like the photo itself because it has a busy yet continuous background. I like the confined color scheme as well as the intersecting, diagonal branches. The composition works because the subject is offset from the center of the square. I think I succeeded in my idea of irony because the lightbulb seems to be growing from the branch. Moreover, by matting it on wood, it draws emphasis on the forest setting, reiterating the misplacement of the subject. I think I could have edited it better, with more contrast and saturation, in order to use printer paper and transfer the ink onto wood. Because I didn't do this, the end result is kind of fuzzy. I think I would also be more successful with indoor settings as the lighting is hard to control. I hope to do a similar thing as this photo in the future by purposely devising microcosmic ironies. However, this subject is pretty generic and I hope to focus in on more obvious, specific topics for the rest of my portfolio.
