I took a picture of my neighbor's backyard around 1 pm. The pictures seems pretty bright, maybe with a golden glow. Even though the color of closer pine tree appears greenish in color, in reality, it's does have blue tones. The reddish ground looks brighter than it actually is. The oak trees on the background do show their real green colors, their saturation is pretty bright and their contrast is pretty high in light.
The bush next to the closer pine tree is light green, so I would consider it to be low in saturation with a high contrast. There several rose bushes with red, pink and white roses on them, but it doesn't show that much. There a couple of small trees with reddish tones, with rich burgundy tones. Surrounring the rose bushes and small trees there are river rocks that appear to be grey in color.
Looking farther, you can see the sky with pale blue tones with some white clouds. The blue in the sky is low in saturation.
This picture was taken around 8 pm and it appears to have a low contrast in the colors. The oak trees are still visible green but a bit darker, with more shade on them. The ground looks dark red, almost maroon. The hue of the sky is almost not there. The blue is non-existent but the surprising part to me is that the rose bushes do seem to appear more distinct. You can see the pink and white roses even if they are farther away.
The closer pine tree does appear now with blue tones, so its true hue is showing. But overall the picure appears duller. The light green bush is not as bright anymore so its level of value is low. The rocks surrounding the rose bushes and other small trees appear to be bluish in color, giving an impression of cool colors. This picture seems to be taken without a flash. That's my point of view because the colors are not bright anymore. It looks more like a fall, cooler day. By the distant oak trees, it even appears to be a little misty. Light can change the way a landscape can look from daylight to sunset. When light changes, colors change too. It's amazing!!

There is a huge difference in these two pictures. The first one is so bright and you can see so many colors, vs the second one is very glumy and it is hard to make out all the different colors from the first.
It is very easy to see the color differences in these two photos. Good job with your analysis you seem like you understand the concepts very well and looking at your photos helped me to understand them better too. thanks!
Wow this picture comparison looks really cool, because you can really see the difference in the colors and how different it look based on the lighting. It is amazing how the top picture looks so much clearer and nicer, compared to the other photo looks very dull and boring. Great job!
Wow, what a difference!! GREAT example and geez, your neighbor's backyard is gorgeous.
Cynthia, Your image is terrific and really demonstrates our key terms very well. And, might I also say, what a gorgeous view! You are lucky! Nice analysis.
