Critique #2 - Michelle E.

1) Even though black is the center color, my eyes are still attracted to the green basket.

2) I like how random this picture is. I pick out the yellow very well and pick out the zig zag lines along the wall. You were able to capture a lot in this one picture.

3) Great job picking up the hits of pink everywhere in the picture, looks really well. Even though I feel that the picture is a little heavy on the right side it still seems to work for me.

4) I like how this picture is not the center of attention, Even though it is the only other color in the picture and does stand out I like the fact that it is hidden behind the other plants.

5) Even though the color is in the middle of the picture I like how the far is off centered and there are surrounding jars that do give me the feel of how close you got to the objects. It also makes it feel a bit more balanced and not so centered because of what is seen in the background.

6) I want to say that the blue is what is catching my attention more. I like the way you have it focused on the middle making the edges more blurred. This works really well for the picture.

7) The pink bench does call out to me more than the other colors do. I think that if you were able to take a more closed frame picture and more close up it would have been a bit better to make the color stand out.

8) I love the contrasting blue from the bench to the sky. great photo, to me it feels balanced and I am drawn to each and every side of the picture.

9) Very Texan! The orange stands out so well. The plants make the converging lines so it draws your attention threw the whole photo. Very crisp and clear photo!

10) I think that this would have been a bit better if you would have been a little closer to the flag pole. You would have been able to pick out the color a little better, I do like how balanced you made the photo and how the trees on each side sort of frame the picture and make your eyes realize there is something in the middle.

Photo that represents me!

Artist- unknown

I chose this picture because I find that it describes me the best. I see the book as my life, and feel that the two pages that are folded in making the shape of a heart represent so many different things in my life. I am a very caring person and all of my friends and family can always count on me to help them when needed. The heart represents the love that I share with my family, my boyfriend, my friends, and everyone that is in need of a little extra hand. My life has been filled with many different experiences that take a lot of courage, and strength to get threw. When keeping the book opened, I am continuing to keep and open heart and mind to all that still has yet to cross my path. This picture is so simple yet has so much deep meaning that can mean different things to different people, which makes it such a special photo.
