Dances with Leaves

In this photo, there is my friends JP and Christopher Medley. What they did was grab a huge pile of leaves and then i had them throw it up in the air and spin around in circles throwing their arms everywhere. This photo is figurative because there is nothing bizarre about it.
JP and Christopher are on opposing sides of the picture to make it balanced. The leaves were thrown in the air just for fun and to make the photo more interesting. once again I tried to make this as focused as I could, but since they were moving it became unfocused a little bit.
If I had anything to communicate through this image, it would be to just go out and have fun because you don't have a lot of time as a teen so you got to live it up. The only reason I made this image dark was so the you can see them better and so they would pop out more. I took this photo outside in front of the library at a bench.
I think this is my best photo so far just because it came out exactly how I wanted it to. It could be a bit better if I had more going on in the background, but either way it's my favorite so far.

In this image, you see JP (Jean-Paul) jumping through the air as I was panning the camera. You can't really see the background; except for JP's arm kind of blurry. this image is figurative because there's nothing weird about it.
On the left, JP is doing some weird running thing and i caught him in the middle of the jump. The image came out really contrasty, so i had to make it darker when I was in photoshop. I tried to make it as focused as possible as i was panning, but I think I may have been standing still when I took it. 
I never really have anything to communicate to the audience because 1 can't speak english. I've never had a chance to make a photograph with a meaning yet. this picture was taken  outdoors but I forget where it was taken.
I could've done way better on the printing part because it came out way too bright at first and I had to darken it when I was in photoshop. This photo became successful when i photoshopped it.
