Our task was to take a faceless portrait. I decided to use a piece of bark to cover my face. I tried other things to cover my face with such as leaves and branches of trees and even my camera itself but I think this photo was the best.

I like the texture of the photo with the tree bark, the tree trunk being me and the greens in the background. I think they look really nice together and create a contrast between the immediate and more far away background. I also think the colours are good in the contrast between the grey/brown of the tree and the bright blues and greens of my dress and the background.

To improve this picture I would probably bring in a costume or different clothes as the blue of my dress drags attention away from the other more important aspects of the photo. I think a light green coloured shirt would work a lot better by creating harmony with the light green leaves in the background and also contrast with the tree immediately behind me. I also think it would look better if the tree trunk in the background was clearer and not as blurred around the edges. The blur of the further background where it is green looks good but I think the blur towards the edges of the tree trunk is not that good. Overall I think it is a pretty good photo.
