Sorry, I Couldn't Help Myself, I liked the Icing off You're Piece of Cake!

I chose this photo of Kayla, my best friend and classmate from High School because when I saw the photograph it brought back so many good memories. Looking at the photo now a good five or more years later, I can recall that this picture was taken during Spirit Week. Our class must have been chosen to wear pink and black as our class colors. I don't remember why today was so special that we had cake in class but I guess if I remember correctly we had some pretty awesome teachers in High School, that it really didn't have to be a special day to bring something sweet to class, just as long as you shared with the teacher of course.

This photograph has a nice composition overall;

it is taken up close and vertical which fits the frame perfectly.

Personally, if the photographer (me) would have gotten any further back,

I don't think the subjects expression would be seen in the way this

photograph has captured it. The girl, Kayla, obviously has gotten

overly excited over the cake that she has forgotten her manners.

The icing is covering her lips as though she was a little girl again,

getting into mommy's makeup and applies way to much to her puny lips. I'm sure if the orthodontist

saw this picture as well she would have a thing or two to say to Kayla. unfortunately for many

reasons the lighting in the picture is a yellow color. This can be caused by many different things.

First, she is wearing a baseball hat. Hats tend to to keep likes out of your eyes and since lights are

usually in the ceiling this is obviously causing an issue. Secondly, looking at Kayla's face gives us

another reason for why there is a lighting issue. She is a heavy makeup wearer. Even if I didn't

know personally that she was, I can see the mascara and eye liner caked on. However, since I also

know she likes to go extremely heavy on concealer and her foundation not mention she uses a shade

that is way to dark for her skin. By knowing this, I know that her skin normally has an odd coloring to

it; which shows in the photo.
