The Color Wheel and the use of Color in Mood

The Color Wheel with Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Colors

Ponytail Falls, Zeb Andrews
This photo of Ponytail falls by Zeb Andrews is composed of different hues of blues and white which makes the photo seem very calm and collected. It also makes it seem kind of removed from the world, and gives it a surreal, spirit-like appearance. This gives the viewer the sense that this photo is hidden, and this is a look into a secret place. The editing of the photo, increasing the blacks and the shadows, adds to it sense of cool and calm because it sharpens the picture and shows the blues and whites in sharp contrast.
