Critique

I was very confused when I first saw this photo. The buildings wrap around the photograph creating an enclosed cube look to it. I questioned how it was photographed because it created the illusion of being surrounded. Then I realized the photo was just a shot upwards toward the buildings. This photo was taken in Hong Kong by Peter Stewart. I really like the symmetry and how it looks like the buildings don't end. This photo is focused and shows a lot of depth going up. The colors photographed are very bright and vibrant. You can tell the photo was taken in a city because of the bright lights and many colors displayed. There is a normal contrast within the photo, although there is a high saturation in the photo.

When I first looked at this photo I was amazed. The scenery was captured so well and the location is beautiful. This photo was taken on the Julien Alps in Italy. I really like the depth and detail in the photograph. This photo is well focused on the little hut. This adds more depth to the mountains in the background. The hut in the photograph looks so small against the mountains which adds a cooler effect. There is a lower contrast in this photo because it mainly contains pure whites not as many pure blacks. The colors in the photograph are dull, which adds to the emotion of the piece. An emotional feeling from this photograph is solitude. It focuses on a hut 8,300 feet up a mountain. The hut is all alone surrounded by nothing and no one. When I look at the photo it makes me feel alone.
