Loving the Drifblim

In this picture, most of the focus is on his hand and the keychain, the rest of him is blurred because it isnt important at the moment. I think the work is figurative because its very basic on its focus and point of view. And there arent any tricks to the picture or hidden things.
I think the technique was
displayed succesfully because it is very clear that the focus is on the keychain, being that it is in focus. And the rest is blurred because it is unimportant. The shading overall was good, it gave the keychain depth and a slight sense of motion. The shading on his face was a little distracting because of the one dark side and the lighter side.
This picture problably is trying to attract attention to the keychain, so show its importance in the photo, and to the person. This photo was taken outdoors because of the drastic changes of contrast and light going on throught the image. Overall the photo is light because most of the focus is on the lighter side of the keychain, but it has penty of both light and dark shades.
I think most of the picture hit the point dead on. the face of the person could have been shaded more so there is less of a distraction from the keychain. Overall I am happy with how it turned out and how it is conveyed.

Needs a girlfriend



The picture mostly focuses around the person sitting on the ground playing a DS. The background is completely blank. There are no other people or animals to distract from what he is doing. I think the work is figurative because there is nothing unnatural to this. Its very basic.
I like the shading of the frontal portion of his body and how everything else is light. I like the different tones the grass on the hill has. It shows some depth and a sense of area.
This photo was taken out doors. I like how its bright in some places, so it shows what he is missing outside of his game. Its a little too light on some spots so it distracts from the shading parts.
 I tried to have the feel of loneliness and sadness. Because he is alone and no one is even around him. Overall I think it mostly captured what I was going for. But it could always be better.
