Critique
The photograph I chose that was the strongest was Rachael without the bubbles in the grass. I felt like it was the strongest because the shadows and highlights in the grass seem to make a design in an otherwise plain environment. I like how she is positioned on the grass, the angle of the camera. Her facial expression also is nice, she is gazing past the picture plan and it makes the viewer contemplate what she is doing or about to do.
What the class felt like was the strongest were the pictures of Jeffrey by the red brick building. The class felt like his facial expression was fitting for the composition and the angle of the camera and where he was positioned. They also liked the photograph of Rachael blowing the bubbles. They liked the concept and idea of the playfulness that she was conveying. Although, the bubbles seemed to overshadow Rachael, they also liked her in the action of her blowing the bubbles. They also said that the background complemented the foreground with the brown colors of the building and the grass which gave an earth tone color scheme.
