Color Composition Reflection

(My favorite shot from the color composition photo shoot)
Describe:
I took pictures of my friends and green objects at Hague Road Nature Haven. I chose to go to there because I have been there before, and have taken pictures there before too. I really enjoy that place because it's secluded from the city and allows you to emerse yourself in nature, I also chose it because I knew it was full of greenery. I set up the scene by getting a lot of green props at hobby lobby and asked my friends to show up wearing the color green. Then throughout the shoot we just walked around and had fun, and I think that added a good natural tone to the shoot.
Analyze:
Rules of composition helped with all of my pictures. At first I was confused on how to  not center my friends faces when I did close ups but then I realized I just had to put the key points of their faces I wanted in the areas of rule of thirds. So for this one, I made sure her eyes were in the top quadrant.
Interpret:
I chose my friends as my subject matter. I tried to incorporate my voice by putting my friends in a nature environment, and making sure they had a good time. I wanted to portray how happy one can be if they disconnect from society and enjoy the people and friends around them in THE CURRENT MOMENT. I wanted to voice that people should live for NOW. This photoshoot also opened my eyes as to how many green things are around us, my world is green now.
Evaluate:
I feel like one of my strengths was really incorporating the color green. However, I was weak in making them do creative things or whatever. I think if I could change anything about this shoot I would try to make it more action packed, do jumping or running shots. Just to make it more fun.
