I appreciate the simplicity from image to image. I can also tell you were integrating your design techniques well into each of your images. I would maybe try to challenge yourself and push the images a little harder. They seem a little bit too safe?
With your leading lines image it would immediately make the shot so much more interesting if you added a subject at the ends of the lines so we are lead to something. The texture in image 4 gets lost and would be better if you shot it from a lower angle or at a later time in the day where shadows are more intense, plus a good up in contrast!
A few of these are very strong and clearly display the design element you were going for, but the rest seem a bit disconnected and mundane. Photos 3,5, & 10 are especially strong due to their high contrast and successful camera angle.
Keep your eye out for more subjects to use elements of design with-like having leading lines in number two lead to a subject. Photo number four has really nice balance. I think that your 6th image of texture could be taken at more of an angle to "show the feel". Maybe don't show labels of commercial products like the rum bottle unless it becomes a conceptual choice. Number nine is a strong photo with the third ring in focus and the rest out.
The shot attempting leading lines should feature a subject at the end of them to make the composition more interesting. Some of your pictures are very gray and could use more contrast.
I would agree with previous comments regarding the presence of a certain subject in photo 2. I think the depiction of the whole bottle would have still preserved your portrayal of symmetry by making the composition of photo 3 more complete.

ReplyDeleteI think your leading lines shot should be taken just a little further to the left. Seeing where the wall ends weakens the illusion of ongoing lines.
