Thea D Color Emphasis

I chose to make the main object of the picture in color to improve the overall compostition and draw the viewer's eye in, instead of looking at the background. All of the colored parts are not directly in the middle in order to follow the rule of thirds. For the crayon picture I adjusted the contrast so the green was brighter againt the blacks and grays. The bead picture also shows a long depth of field with the closer beads blurry and the farther ones clear.
