During our first session on Tuesday, our mentors from the Mill (specifically Kyle Cody) suggested retaking my photos to use for my background image for project 1. He said that my match was close and I was capable of accomplishing that portion of the project, but that the photo I was using wasn't very interesting and that I should challenge myself with trying to use a more visually appealing photo. And I totally agree, my photo was kind of bland. So I went out a retook some photos. I may go back out again, but here is my other alternative for the moment.
I think this image more interesting in how the elongated shadows cover the width of the frame. The shadows are also a lot darker in comparison to the ground, giving it nice contrast.
