Composition Photos

The good:

I like the composition of this photo (# 2). I think the focus is right where it should be and I really like that you can see the reflection in the man's binoculars.

The bad:

I don't really like the composition of this photo (# 32). I think the picture could have been taken from a different angle, or even cropped better to get the cars out of the bottom and the streetlights out from the front of the sign.

The ?:

This photo (# 10) is taken from underneath ice. Would the photographer be able to to get a picture without going underwater to take it?

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.

Freeman's Composition Pics

1. GOOD PHOTO
"The 'W' Word, Re-Engaged"
-I thought this photo was great because of the way it captured the words written on the booklet, and how the book almost acted as a direct line to the man sitting down. It was clear where you were supposed to look instantly. The picture is so descriptive you don't even need a title or a passage to figure out what's going on.

2. BAD PHOTO
"Landmark downtown diner changing owners, but nothing else"
-I just felt like there was too much going on here. I'm not sure who the focal point is, and the lighting is really annoying.

3. QUESTION PHOTO
"Dappled"
-I just wanted to know how the photographer was able to put light on just the 3 subjects they wanted with this picture. It seems to be pretty effective.
