In my seventh and eighth concentration I tried to really limit the color scheme. Obviously black and white photos are an easy way to execute that, but in my 8th concentration I experimented with lowering the saturation to keep some of the natural color. Looking back at the beginning of my blog I realized I have made a lot of progress and my photos are really showing growth. Having the subject in complete focus and the background blurred gives a lot of contrast and really draws the viewers eye right to the subject. Also, there have been improvements in point of view and depth of field in my photos as the year progresses.
