Favorite Photo Critique 7

Photo By: Talee Laurén

Art Vocabulary and Craftsmanship
I like the silhouette of the girl. It’s a fairly long depth of field to get the horizon in focus, but keep the girl and birds in focus.

Elements
·       Color
·       Line
·       Shape
·       Texture
·       Form
·       Value
·      Space
I like the splash of redish orange in the skirt of her dress. The line in her legs is parallel to the horizon line. The folds in her dress add texture as well as the ground. The girls and the birds all have their own space and her legs don’t intersect with the horizon.

The birds look even smaller in the air compared to the girl. Having the birds in the shot adds variety and harmony. Having that red in her skirt brings the focus to her instead of everything around her.



Principles
·       Proportion
·       Variety
·       Balance
·       Contrast
·       Pattern/Repetition
·       Rhythm/Movement
·       Unity/Harmony
·      Emphasis
Conceptual Skill
I think the photographer wanted to catch the technique in her leap and give the sense that she was flying with the birds.
Critique

I really like how everything has its own space. It would have been really easy to have her arm intersect with one of the birds, but she was able to get her in her own bubble.
