Week 5 - Photo Comparison

These are a new breed of peony that we have blossoming in the yard. I really enjoyed playing with the focal image and where to place it in the image. I found that by doing this image I like all of the images that are on the outer thirds of the page and I think that they become more interesting because the composition is more engaging and your eye follows a path across the page. I do think that the centered image is nice, but it is not as appealing to me.

 I think that these are similar because yes they are a similar subject matter, but it is amazing how moving the central object off the center axis can create such a more aesthetically pleasing image. Again I do like both of these images but the top one is better in my opinion. I think the lighting really adds to the image and makes it seem light and airy.

  I like the last two images I posted and again I think the image on the bottom  that is off-centered is a more visually appealing image. This assignment clearly works and when you see two images side by side it is much easier to prove a point and to see the importance of trying new techniques.
