2023_CLondon52_April: Color

 From the C.London website: "Anyone who’s been around in the past knows that color theory is one of my main focuses and passions. As such, you are all subject to my obsession, and April is all about color! If you need a starting off point on Color Theory, I have a blog post, Color Theory for Photographers: An Introduction. I will also be hosting a totally free color theory workshop this month on the challenge’s Discord. Stay tuned for the exact day and time. In the meanwhile, have a colorful month!"

2.  Color Temperature

Photographing reflections on the shady side of the street largely kept color temperature on the cool side and enhanced the depth via contrast between shadows and sun.
