Favorite Photo Critique 1

Art Vocabulary and Craftsmanship
The silhouettes are crisp. The dog is about a third of the way up as is the horizon line.

·      Space

I like the space between the boy’s foot and the ground and the dog’s paw and the ground. The smoke adds texture and the light coming from the moon gives dramatic lighting. The circular shape of the moon makes the boy’s head seem more round. I don’t like where the boy’s head intersects with the moon. I would like it more if his shoulders were just a little higher.

The size of the boy and the dog gives the viewer a better sense of the size of the moon. I like the asymmetrical balance, where the picture is weighted more towards the bottom. The contrast is really nice.

Conceptual Skill

The photographer wanted to show ‘the beauty of being different.’
Critique

I really like this picture because of the contrast between the silhouettes and the moon.
