Assignment on Composition and leading lines.

[coffee]

Ok sure I will comment. Keep in mind this is just one mans opinion.

The first photo may qualify as leading lines, but the it does seem to be an uninteresting composition and subject.

The second photo certainly qualifies as good leading lines, but with the bridge dead center in the photo, it's less interesting and hurts the composition. Maybe crop a bit to off center a little.

The third photo I think is wonderful. Great composition, very interesting subject. Very original. Well done.

The forth is also very well done, and the most interesting. Very interesting lines, wonderfully composed. Where was this taken?

Keep in mind that the grading is tough. So turn in only what you are extatic(sp) about. Don't turn in a photo just to turn it in, unless you know it's the best you can do. If you aren't 100% happy with an assignment photo, take your time and keep working on it. Also, you can turn in more photos than required, but you are better off grade wise turning in one great photo for an assignment, then one great and one not so great photo. The less than great photo will bring down the great photo and net you less of a score. You can also turn in additional photos for extra credit on an already completed assignment later on, but you better have learned something from the instructors comments.

So all in all, I don't get the first one, I like the second one, and love the last 2.

My turn - I like the second one, except for the centering of the bridge. The third one does nothing for me. I like the last one as well, maybe a little dark. Good luck on which picture you turn in.
