5. Model and Prototype

6. Test and Evaluate 

    - For my water droplets photo, I could've added more water droplets and shot with a deeper depth of field. 

    - In that photo there was a lot of light because it was the middle of the day in my white kitchen, so there was a lot of exposure 

   - For my second photo, I was outside in my back yard looking at a part of my fence looking down. 

   - For improvements, I could've tried for a deeper depth of field

   - The lighting was very bright since it was the middle of the day
