Several of these photos are really beautiful. Your first image is my favorite, the contrast is beautiful and makes it more bold and powerful than if it was just grey. The symmetry is great, but I love that the uneven number of bottles disturbs that symmetry. Your 7th and 9th photos are really nice too because they show you were thinking of lighting and shadows. The 8th photo feels a bit cliche to me.
Samara, Bravo!! These images are stunning. I say that because looking at your contact sheets, I see a very deliberate curation of your top ten images. The wide range of forms and relationships is visually stunning and as a viewer keeps my excited to see more. This week you have shown your ability to capture imagery that engages with a darker tonal limit. You have taken the critique of your classmates ( namely Jenna) and incorporated it into your practice which is an excellent thing, for which you should certainly thank her. Your compositions are well balanced, tonal variety is lovely, design elements are activated, and your technical use of the camera is clear. Keep pushing forward.
The compositions of the photos are excellent. I love the first photo because every detail is perfect, including the shape of the frame, the arrangement of the bottles and the angle you shoot it. The image 6 is interesting, but it slightly slants.
You do an excellent job of framing your photographs, especially with the geometric shapes like in image one. I notice you use a lot of symmetry as well, which is also very successful because of your precise framing; nothing feels unintentionally off balance.
Overall, I think you do a great job with framing, but it would be cool to see you push your compositions a little more. Also, in the upcoming weeks, try to focus on telling a story with your photos since that's a requirement for the final project. I really love that you've been pushing yourself to create more contrast in your images.
The leaf one is particularly wonderful, the leaf is so purposeful and works completely with the composition. I got a very summery child-like vibe from these images and I think they're very successful. I want to see you push that sort of vibe for the final project because you captured it very well in this set.
Your first image stands out as really strong to me - its execution is probably impeccable as far as i can perceive. The patterns against the organic values in the water is a nice contrast, and the asymmetry is balanced by the vertical line on the right.
Images 3 and 10 are also favorites, overall I think you did a good job with perceivable attention to design and cohesion despite various subjects; every element was a decision. For the swing set series, I'm glad you chose to include the one that didn't show the model's face. The anonymity adds to the overarching mood.
I think that the bit of contrast that you have brought to your photos have brought them to a different level. I specially enjoy the way you balance your photos though symmetry.
Your use of balance and composition is really strong in these. I'm also especially into the swing set one because I don't see any motion blur. I also like the photoshopping you did in the first, it makes the image more visually interesting.
