Critique 1 - Nicole Cartier

                One of the photos that I really liked was the extremely over exposed one of the girls face.  I think it brought a soft, delicate fell to the girl making her seem somewhat angel-like.  The glasses and the reflection in the lenses really stood out and I thought that it gave a good focal point to the photo.

                I also enjoyed the photo of the house and the yield sign.  I disagreed with the negative comments about the sign being in the picture…. I thought that the yield sign being in the photo made it more realistic.  The house would have just looked like a house in the woods without the yield sign in the picture and I think it almost just gives the picture a little more character.

                I really liked the majority of her photos, my favorite was the one of the man with the light shining onto one side of his face.  However, I disagree that the picture needs more detail in the background.  I think that the dark room and less detail is more mysterious and dramatic, and gives the audience more room to create and imagine a setting of their own.  I really liked how the light not only made the viewer focus on the man’s face, but it also caused you to focus on the glass that he was holding since the light was shining through it at an interesting angle.  I thought it was a great picture overall.

                The one picture I was not a fan of was the photo of the cannon.  I thought that the angle was somewhat awkward and I could not really find a meaning for why the photo was tilted that way.  I did, however, enjoy the picture of the bench.  I think it was a well taken photo, minus the b&w editing, and the statue was a great focal point.
