Landscape: 

I chose this picture because I thought it was interesting how two different sides of the same street looked so different. I also really like the setting - there is a high vantage point, but the road goes down and then back up in elevation, allowing more vision of the street. I feel like this helps more with the contrast because the viewer can see that the left side is illuminated and the right side is left in darkness for the whole stretch. 

I think I could have zoomed further in to the street and captured less of the current foreground because it doesn't add that much to the photo, and more focus would help make the contrast more clear.
