My Reasoning Behind My Project Choices

I want to do portrait because I got a sweet idea for it while I was swimming (I do a lot of that). You will see how that turns out when I finish. I am doing Depth of Field because I also think that that would be a fun introductory project. Contrast and Texture is good for this season and I can get a start on it, hence me doing it. And finally, motion blur because it is a fun thing with which to play.
