The focal point in this image is the uneven horizontal line covering the tree. This construct an organic pattern that gradually sweeps across the image following the contours of the tree

This image was an attempt capture a clear image of the subject with an iPhone camera. Due to the poor lighting and constant movement this was the clearest image I produced. I then adjusted the levels and changed the exposure to lighten the image. The background was covered in a field blur while the subject was sharpened using the unsharpen mask tool. Due to the harsh light coming from the back the top of the subjects head is blurred. Given the circumstances this is effective in depicting the subject in an appropriate environment and works when viewed small.
