This shot was taken outside of my boyfriends house. I was searching for different patterns and lines. I liked that the two different patterns were perpendicular to one another. I thought it added good interest to the shot. I also liked that the brick looks like it has been sitting on the side of the house for a long time because it is half buried in the ground. It adds character to the subject.

The way the texture moves your eye around from the cinder block to the brick wall is nice. I also like how the little green leaves in the bottom move my eye down to see the dirt, and sticks.

Sometimes I worry that my students will not have interesting things to photograph. Face it suburban alabama can sometimes lack the ooos and ahhhs of some more exotic portions of the planet. Miss Selman's photograph is a great example of making something out of nothing. Bricks and a cinderblock are working nicely in her composition. Her low camera angle and perpendicular orientation to the block creates a pleasing contrasts in shapes and textures to the brick wall. Moffett's observations about the green elements at the bottom is correct in how they help balance the piece vertically. So...for all my other students who are getting stuck for ideas...open your eyes and see the beauty all around you.
I like this shot alot. The exposure and texture is great, and it creates a great eye movement with the dull colors about the piece and then the bright green at the bottom. And I sit next to her and commented on it in person but *shrug* thats all I have for right now. And as Mr. Myers said, it is a great example of making nothing into something.
Good job!

i agree with the green. it drags my eye to the bottom, and i also see how the block is dug into the ground. it's a very well composited picture. i like it. you're really good at your photography work. =]
