PIC1. Rule of Thirds, Breathing Room, Color, Contrast, Hue, Crop, - Woman Working on Farm
 
PIC 1.o. Original Picture of the Farming Woman

The photo was taken in village in China.
I was attracted by the farming woman far away from me and tried to take picture of her.
Though I tried to zoom in, she was still not that visible in my picture.
Then I chose the highest resolution for this picture so that I could be able to crop her in focus later.
As you can see, the next picture is the original one.

 The first one was processed through: cropping, adjusting color, contrast and color hue.
I cropped the picture under the Three of Thirds rule and made the main character on the 2nd horizontal and 2nd vertical lines, with a proper leading room in front of her.

2. Framing, Rule of Third, Reflection - The beautiful Village

The Picture was taken in Feng Huang China when I was volunteering in summer vocation at colledge.
The tree and boat on the left side frame the picture nicely.
The horizontal water line falls on the first horizontal line in Rule of thirds.
The reflection in water falls on the second horizontal line in Rule of thirds.

3. Rule of Third, Leading lines, Triangles - Water Mountain Sky

The picture was taken in the mountain area in west Hunan China when I was volunteering in summer vocation at colledge.
The river generates the leading line and leads the viewer's imagination into the back of that mountain.
The two mountains are both in the shape of triangle, so are the water and the sky.
 The bottom line of mountains falls into the second horizontal line in Rule of thirds and the top line of the mountains falls into the first horizontal line.

4. Unique Point of View and Focal B&W - Helpless Child


PIC 4. Unique Point of View and Focal B&W - Helpless Child

PIC 4.o. Original Picture - helpless child

The photo was taken in mountain village in West Hunan China when I was volunteering for an NGO.
The parents of this child left home for work and this kid is taken care of by the neighbors and community right now.
To make the kid more vulnerable, I chose the low angel to make the object weak.
To emphasize the kid, I used Picasa -> Effect -> Focal B&W.
In addition, the black and white background made the environment more inclement.

5. Crop, Focal W&B, Rule of Third - Taxi in the middle of the road

6. Color adjustment in PS- Bund

The color in last picture looks really blue. Use PS for the color, brightness and level adjustment. The edited one looks more real, with less blueish.
