Alexandra Schulsinger - Recipe Crit 2: Color/Passion

All of my pictures were taken on the iPhone 4s with an iOS 7.1.2. I use the app Snapseed to put filters on the photos and play with contrast and saturation and I used the basic camera on the phone to take the photos. My POW is of a river I was walking alone at 6:30 in the morning. I was really intrigued with all of the different colors. Using Snapseed, I tried to brighten the colors even further. I like how the photo turned out very peaceful because that is how the morning what when I took it.

The picture below is one that I wanted to comment on. I thought it was cool how everyone wearing the same color were sitting near one another so I captured that. Again using Snapseed, I attempted to learn more about effects and filters I could use on my photos. I think the effects and filters I chose made the picture look more like a drawing or cartoon than an actual photograph.
