The subject of my photo essay is macro pictures found in nature.  I chose this topic because throughout the year I loved taking close up pictures and I love spending time outside.  Throughout my photo essay I am trying to show the beauty found in the simple things in nature.  The images portray the story of my essay because they show the warmth, brightness, and beauty in nature.  The natural lighting create shadows along with brightness in my pictures.  In addition the pictures are unified because of the subject and composition.  Lastly I set up the page so the ratio between vertical and horizontal pictures allows me to set up my page in an efficient manner.
