Favorite Photo Critique 2

Photo By: Hendrik Kaprillyon 
Art Vocabulary and Craftsmanship
I like the dramatic lighting on the girl’s face coming from the side. It gives the shawl more texture. The rule of thirds in her position leads to the bird cage.

. The red in her shawl draws the eye to her first, then the lines in her arms lead to the bird cage. I like the texture of the shawl and the bird cage. She gives a good sense of how big the cage is. Having the cage on the left and the girl on the right balances the image.




Principles
·       Proportion
·       Variety
·       Balance
·       Contrast
·       Pattern/Repetition
·       Rhythm/Movement
·       Unity/Harmony

Conceptual Skill
I think the empty bird cage signifies freedom and the longing look on the girl’s face gives the sense that she wants to be free too.

Critique

I really like this image. It almost reminds me of the Afghan Girl by Steve McCurry.
