Using hue and saturation to enhance the photo
Using a yellow analogous colour theme (Yellow-green, Yellow, Yellow-orange)
Using monochromatic colour and value scale of colour
Using saturation to create a focal point
Using complimentary colours (yellow and purple)
Using predominantly the colour green to create the feeling of growth and abundance

Your colour must show all 12 hues found in the colour wheel presented in this lesson (three primary, three secondary, and six tertiary).
This was made with my collection of natural curiosities, such as gemstones, flowers, leaves, and shells. The background is a sheet of black cardstock.
