Theme: Vibrant, Colorful, Saturated

When I look at this picture, I think of vibrant purification. The water looks so crisp, regardless of the variety of colors in the water. The colors are so bright and vivacious. The blotches fill the floor but this is not the focus of the picture. My eye is immediately brought to the drip midair. I notice the reflection of all the blotches within this drip. Somehow it takes all these colors in the picture and fits it all into this tiny drip. Maybe inside of that drip is another reflection, like an endless mirror. It keeps getting smaller and smaller. The ripples in the water affect the shape of the color and disrupt the proportion. These blotches are covered by the pool of water, using the water as lamination. Thought the colors cannot be manipulated themselves, the water on top of it can. As a result, the water can magnify, disorient, and affect the colors. The color is dripping off the picture.

Theme: Saturated

Description: I enjoyed the sharp contrast of the dark objects in the street with the lights emanating from various sources around them, as well as the tail lights. I think it is interesting how many colors are found reflected on the wet street, and how clearly everything is defined by those reflections. Though this probably had its contrast and saturation altered slightly, I feel that it fits the theme perfectly due to the wide range and intensity of the lights in the photograph.
