Assignment #2 Critique

As I printed my photos for the critique I was kind of shocked at how red they all looked! I've learned to change my camera's settings from Vivid to Natural. That was my only huge concern as we started talking about our results.

When asked, I wasn't sure which picture was the "strongest" one. I'm not too sure on how to critique in photography yet, because it's a whole other beast compared to my drawing studio classes. So I went with this picture of my sister, Victoria.

I chose it because of the movement within the branches of the tree and her gesture of laughing. Even though the class wouldn't be able to view it personally, I felt it captured her essence and that made it strong.

I was dawdling between this picture and the one below - probably for personal reasons - but also because this photo of Richelle came out very dark and red when it was printed.

I love this picture and it really is the strongest of Richelle, and was viewed as the strongest in my assortment during the critique. Here on my blog it looks a lot better than it did when it was printed. Mostly because you can tell the difference between her hair and the backgroud! Technical difficulties aside, I didn't have to change this picture in any way for lighting or cropping, and I'm really proud of it : )
