a. What is the distinct mood of the photograph? Explain.
The mood of my water bead photo is joyful because the assortment of colors, in my opinion, expresses feelings of excitement, happiness, and fun. Additionally, the circular shapes of the beads can represent completeness in that the circle makes a full seamless loop.

b. What does the photo make you think about? Explain.
This photo makes me think about art in general as many pictures are filled with a variety of colors, similar to how my photo contains all of the colors of the rainbow.

c. What in the photo jumps out at you? Explain.
All of the colors jump out to me instantly as the mix of colors is supposed to be the biggest drawing point of the photo.

d. How does the photo make you feel? Explain.
The photo makes me feel inspired to create as the colors are meant to represent imagination, and each color is supposed to represent all of the possibilities you can come up with to make an amazing piece of art.

e. What advice would you give to next year’s students for shooting abstract photography? Explain.
I would recommend next year’s students to try to pick an image for their refraction photo that doesn’t have a large amount of detail because the glass apple blurs the lines in between those details. Instead, students should try to use images of space, fireworks, or the like.
