Center

I've had in my head the coolness of bright balloons on the white bright snow..here is my tiny balloon reflecting the sky and clouds shrinking by the moment.

This is a great photo, one of the hardest things to do "IN CAMERA" is to fool your audience. There is no reflection in the balloon just sky, you can't tell how big the balloon is, brilliant! Great use of DoF. Exposure could be a little more punchy. Love this photo.

I know this breaks the rules..but this assignment was about breaking

them right? I love how the light is so bright around the tiny oranges and makes them stand out individually.

I too like the light, the back light that causes the glow of orange, and the soft light source surrounding the subject. Once you enlarge this photo however the it falls apart. One problem is that I want to see one orange in the dead center but its more like two. Also there is a reflection and it detracts from the photo. Reflections are hard to get around sometimes.

I loved the brightness of the pear and how the light made a nice contrast.
This photo looks great as a thumb nail. Once you enlarge it it looses its appeal. I think the main reason is because in a photo like this, you would want everything sharp. To do this you would use a few stops more DoF. Also, I think that if you rotated the chair or wood at more of an angle the cast shadow would become more interesting and make this more symmetrical.

This assignment was tough/easy since I was so terrible at comp that part was easy since I always put everything center and tough because I had to forget what I've been working hard on fixing...guess we will find out if I got it or not. I have one more image I will decide on and upload tomorrow....cheers!
