Hi Emily! I think my favorite photo of yours is what looks like a knuckly tree root system. I took a similar approach with looking at texture and this photo makes me think of that one scene in Harry Potter with the devil’s snare. Sorry if that’s oddly specific. I think in terms of revision, I might replace your white images. I think they could work with some cropping, such as a much tighter crop to the point of abstraction with the flowers, but the exposure definitely needs to be bumped up for both to add a white tone to it. At the moment, they feel a little flat because the white isn’t particularly bright. I think you’re off on the right track through!
I really like the set you have for your grey series of photos and I completely agree with Annalee. That third picture for your black series, I really like. I like the first image in that series over the second, just because it has a more consistently dark tone rather than the almost white sunlight spot. I think you could crop your second white picture to remove the black areas around the flowers and that would fit more. I like the first image in the white series, but not sure if that works in the grey series more? I know there is going to be crossover in each of the parts.
Hi Emily. I think these are off to good start. I especially like your second black image, as I feel as though it satisfies not only the technical part of the challenge, but also the creative side. I think most of your other images satisfies one or the other but not both. I enjoy your White images, but find them to have too much gray. While you could brighten them in LR, my fear would be that they would begin to look forced and out of place. I think it's worth a shot, but I would also encourage you to photograph more with the time you have remaining. Overall, I would say that the simplicity in your images is really working (other than the roots and flower & concrete image) and I think you should try to keep things simple moving forward. Good Luck!
