Romantic or Assault?

 

I do not consider this photo romantic at all. Although there are many things to consider. In the background there are many other sailors and women cheering them on. So obviously this is either a parade of some sort, or the sailors are being welcomed home. Given how the woman is taken aback and how the man is holding her, I do not think they know each other. It simply seems like a spur of the moment occurrence due to adrenaline. I also do not consider this assault since that is a very harsh thing. I simply think this is an spontaneous incident, albeit I do hope it is indeed romantic. 

Reflection for Composition Project

         The best shot of this assignment was the one I did with the dead plant. I love it because the way I edited made the plant more vibrant and it was like bringing the plant back to life once more. If I had to pick the weakest shot it would be the one with my LED lights, because I feel like it didn't convey anything at all. I don't think it could be improved with the way it is, but if I took the picture again I would take it from my floor so you can see all the lines of the lights. For editing I used photo shop and I used tools such as saturation levels, vibrancy, brightness, and hue levels. The easiest thing for this assignment was to bring out specific colors in a picture. The hardest thing was deciding what category each picture belonged in, because the description of each category had me confused and still does. One thing I would most definitely do differently is I would take more landscape pictures so I would have more to choose from. To be honest, my effort was about a seven, because I feel like I could've taken more pictures that would've made my project a lot better.

COMPOSITION

MULTIPLE OBJECTS; BECAUSE THERE ARE MULTIPLE OBJECTS AND EACH ONE IS ACCENTUATED

EMPHASIZE FOREGROUND; THE OBJECTS IN THE FOREGROUND ARE LARGER THAN THE ONES IN THE MIDDLE

SIMPLICITY; TAKES UP WHOLE FRAME, FOCUSES ON ONE THING

LEADING LINES; YOU AUTOMATICALLY FOLLOW THE LINES

EMPHASIZE HEIGHT & DIFFERENCE; OBJECTS COMPARED TO OTHER OBJECTS DIFFERENCE GREATLY IN SIZE

RULE OF THIRDS; DIVIDED HORIZONTALLY AND VERTICALLY INTO THIRDS

GOOD LIGHTING AND FOCUS; HIGHLIGHTS AND EMPHASIZES EACH OBJECT

CONTACT SHEET

The difference between a snap shot and an artistic photo is that a snapshot is taken quick and haphazardly, an artistic photo is a photo that you take time to take and prepare for.
