Composition

I really liked this photo. It has great depth of field.

I did not like this image at all. I feel like there should be less depth of field, especially since the seats are not completely filled. The background being in focus makes the image look very busy, and it takes away from the players and the ball, which should be the center of focus.

This image confused me. I wasn't sure what the focus was supposed to be. The caption refers to the people in the background, which makes me think they are the focus of the image, so I wondered why the photographer did not choose to put the people in the center of the frame. The picture also seems a little crooked to me, and I don't like how the walkway is not centered because it does not lead the eye to the focus like it should.

Ha, very cool photo. The colors are awesome and the shot is a really different take on the regular shot of a kid on the beach. I really like the way the photographer used depth of field, although I think it really would have added to the photo if we could see the whole foot.

I would have to agree- I love your first photo. It's my favorite that I have seen... innocence as a theme and a great sharpness of color. Makes me want spring break!
