Composition Clips

I thought this photo had a really nice composition. The contrast between the white snow and the bright uniforms of the skaters is really nice. The colors of the skater's uniforms really make them pop and that is what your eye is drawn to first because they are placed in the middle of the photo.

This photo (number 22) I believe has poor composition. The stained glass window is not focused very well. The women in the picture is badly placed in the corner that it takes a while to actually notice her.

In this photo, (number 26) the caption does state that it was a long exposure, but I was wondering how long would an exposure have to be to have this effect.

I definitely agree with your comments about #22 (your bad picture). Also, I felt like seeing the blue, red and yellow all together and very saturated was was too much.

The bad photo is not easy on the eyes. It is very hard to get past the harsh red, yellow and blue colors to see what the photographer saw outside.

In reference to #22, this is a great example of how not to frame your subject. The stained glass is distracting to say the least.

i really like the first picture too! this is funny because i saw a picture just like the third earlier today, and it said it was taken just over the course of a night.
