"Thinking About Environment" Response

After reading the article, I believe the environment contained within an image is crucial to setting the "mood" of the viewer's interpretation.  A photo with a sunrise, or puffy clouds against a clear blue sky can certainly give the image a brighter, happier feel depending on the subject.  The environment of my composite project, a tattoo shop interior, has a very sterile feel to it because of the fluorescent lighting and equipment.  I hope that as I continue to work on it, the image will become more intense while still maintaining that sterile feeling.
