I can see your intention to apply the rule of thirds, symmetry and asymmetry to your photos. The shadow and light in the third photo are interesting, but you may need less exposure. For image 8, it would be more sharp if you could have taken the photos closer to the subject.
Wow! These are excellent. Kashif talked about controlling the shoot and for the first one, the specks of dust/sand could have been swept away to get a cleaner photo as well as finding a different angle on picture 6 that didn't show the words in the background. Other compositional elements are very strong and your work really stand out.
I love your first image because the thin lamp doesn't match the wide shadow it's casting, making it so engaging. The 3rd photo is awesome and I think you should continue to explore transparency and reflection. Photos 4-6 don't do a lot for me because I don't see the intent behind them. The last photo also doesn't make sense to me. I like the photo of the girl with the magnifying glass because the repetition of her big glasses with another big glass is funny.
These are really great! I can definitely see your intent with your photos. Photos 8 and 9 look very similar to photos that you posted last week. Also the words on the board in photo 6 is a little distracting to me. The 4th photo doesn't do much for me, i see that you were trying to play around with lines, but it lacks an interesting aspect.
Your first image brings to mind what you did with the forks last week - simple subjects that create engaging compositions. Images 4, 7, and 8 are also among my favorites, the fourth especially for textures, repetition, line, a consistent and symmetrical pattern of values, the geometric preciseness about the stairs is well captured. The recurrence of circles in image 7 is something notable too, not only in the magnifying glass vs the subject's glasses but also drawn on the map behind her. It's both playful (has character) and inclusive of design elements. Image 8 i adore for its subject because bias, but it stands with your theme of simplicity, geometric repetition, but with a suitably centered subject that draws attention despite its small size (also thanks to the lack of distractions, which is why I think it's better than your 9th image).
I don't really understand image 3, though it stands out for being so heavily photoshopped compared to other photos we've collectively submitted. I find the hints of text in image 6 to be a bit distracting, and the cropping feels needlessly off-center (it doesn't really do much for the image, rule of thirds doesn't apply either).
Your photos this week are very interesting, regardless they could be pushed further. In the first photo there are some black dots that could easily be removed in photoshop and your 6th/last photos are not as strong as the others.
You make simple subjects intriguing by crafting your own perspective! Your photographs are much more polished and purposeful - I see a lot of improvement.
These photos have good intent and show strong composition! I especially like the contrast on the 5th one. I feel like the last three are a little boring though.
You are doing a great job at capturing photos of regular objects in an intriguing way. I love the picture of the electric line and the little bird but I almost wish the bird wasn't centered.

ReplyDeleteSome of these images appear to lack intent. Your third image is the most compelling. You should continue to experiment with that technique!
