Art Vocabulary and Craftsmanship
|
Describe the
technique applied – also describe dodging and burning; depth of field, etc.
Uses a short
depth of field. The azaleas are burned in well, but I should have burned the
bench and smaller flowers in more. The edges are bright and distract from the
center of interest.

Analyze:
specifically comment on any elements and principles used in your work.
The
repeating shape of the azaleas contrast with the repeating shapes of the
smaller flowers. The smooth texture of the flowers contrasts with the rough texture of the bench. The stems
on the small flowers lead the eye to the azaleas. The harsh line of the back
of the bench is distracting, I wish I had moved the camera a little lower to
eliminate it. The bigger proportion of the azaleas gives a better sense of
how small the little flowers are. The picture is heavily balanced on the bottom
half. The two different kinds of flowers add variety to the image.

Conceptual Skill
|
Interpret: What
is the photographer’s intent? Does it
convey an idea or message? Is there a mood?
I wanted to
arrange the flowers in a way that would show the different textures and sizes
between them. Adding the small flower in with the azaleas gave a better sense
of the differences.

Critique
|
Judge:
evaluate the success of this piece.
I
think I was able to capture the differences fairly well. I wish the small
flower in front of the azaleas didn't intersect with them.
