I believe this photo was successful compositionally. The concept of this image is a man feeding a bird. The man holding the bird in this photo is very thin and he is giving the food he has to a bird. In this photo the birds coloring is very similar to the wall behind it. The colors in this photo are all in the same color scheme. The bird in the photo has a row of purple feathers. The purple feathers draw your eyes to the bird. The colors in this photo give it mellow tone.
This photo exemplifies movement. Your eye are drawn to the row of purple feathers on the birds back and then to the rest of the bird. Yours eyes are drawn though the bird into the mans hand and the up into his arms. The birds purple feathers create emphasis that move your eyes into the mans hand exemplifying movement.
Go to the website linked above. Find an image that you believe is successful. Write a couple of sentences defining what you believe the concept of the image is. In addition, what is successful compositionally? Name the principles and elements of design that you see within the composition. In addition, your next project focuses on color as a means of expression. Consider the colors within your chosen image, and think about the way color reinforces the concept or does not. What is your psychological response to the colors within the image. I want you to truly spend some time thinking about this response. You are two write two thoughtful paragraphs. This blog is worth 50 points.
