Several of these photos are really beautiful. They feel calm and natural. I couldn't find a focal point in the first photo so it just felt blurry but the rest of the photos have a nice resting place. I like that you're taking your style and stretching it. The change in scenery is refreshing and shows your eye for texture.
Katherine, I am enjoying the progression of your photography. The images this week have a better engagement with space. Space is created, there is a sense of depth and I enjoy the texture and attention to subtle forms. This week your tonal range is much wider to now incorporate whites, various shades of grey and black. These images also have a landscape quality to them, and I think that your style of the very minute details is expanding from simply shape and negative and positive space, to now include a sense of depth and volume. The lighting of this weeks images has also brought the shadow element into your work which adds to the complex relationship between the visual elements of the photographs.
I think your photos show the beauty of nature from a micro angle instead of macro sceneries. And I hope you can keep doing it because it's meaningful to touch and capture the nature.
Your 8th image is very interesting because it captures a still moment, with shallow aperture so that the only focal point is the crisp split wood. You are able to capture organic forms and shapes that create dynamic in your images.
I love your eye for nature and the details of nature. It can be really hard to capture texture, and I think that your last image is successful at doing so. I'm really interested in what you are going to do for your final project. Keep pushing yourself and maybe in the upcoming weeks try to engage with the nature that you are shooting.
These feel very surreal, the wood mirroring starry night by van gogh in a way. I'd love to see you incorporate common florida animals or tiny figures. Make a cityscape in these micro environments, make a Florida town, get crazy!
Some of your images are out of focus but I think that your use of light this week made your images more interesting. My favorite picture is the second one because I liked how the vertical line of the rope brakes the diagonal line of the tree bark, and that this photo was composed using the rule of thirds.
Your work this week is no longer grey like they did before which I think is making your images more successful. I think with the sunlight your photos with the textures are better illustrated and more stunning. And I think the combination of sunlight and plants reminds me of hope. But pay attention to some pure white in your photos.
You used natural lighting to your advantage with these. These images capture the beautiful moments in nature that might go unnoticed, or at least won't be appreciated from this angle.
