Craft: I took this photo during the day so that the natural light from the sun would show in the picture. The natural light from the sun reflects nicely on the Kiss n Ride sign. Also, it creates a small shadow from the overpass onto the sidewalk behind the sign.
Concept: I chose this particular picture because it represents what most of Midway consists of, which is means of public transportation such as the airport and the El station where I captured this sign. I also like that the sign says Kiss n Ride. The sign has a small scratch at the end of where Ride reads and I think that that gives off the feeling of Chicago, which has lots of graffiti and markings on public property, like the one on this sign.
Composition: At first I had only had the sign in the picture. However, I realized when I zoomed out just a little bit that the bottom of the overpass became present along with the green and purple plants behind the sign, which are far and few between in the Midway neighborhood. I also like the effect of the glass windows from the building being shown on an angle that descends farther into the background. Also, the sky in the background on the right compliments the color of the posts on the sign, giving the photo a good effect for the color.
