Diana's Photos
Bird: This is a great shot foremost, I like how the parrot is positioned in the frame. All the sayings are funny and I think they add alot of character to the photo / parrot. Though it might be locked in a cage, the parrot still has lots of attitude to give (dirrrrty bird)! The balance of the text is symmetrical, and yet still has variation, which is much appreciated. That's more visually interesting than keeping all the fonts alike. One thing to look out for is the levels in Photoshop, as the reds seem to be dominant in the picture.
Rio Grande: This photo is definitely my favorite of the bunch. It's really interesting everywhere you look, from the colors to the composition to the added text. I feel like this would belong in a gallery somewhere around town! One of the most striking visuals to me is the orange burst falling on a line of thirds and balanced by the reflection of that in the water. This is a really cool effect because it looks like the sun is out and about still, and that contrasts really well with the deep blue hues of the sky and the water. I don't know if the effect was intentional or not, but really good job with it anyways. As for the text, I think it's a simple statement that carries alot of ooomph with it. You can see the divide created by the river and also the connotations and barriers implied by the river. One thing I maybe would like to see is how the picture would have turned out if it were more in focus...but I can live without that. ¡Muy bueno foto!
Road: Great photo once again! I like that you captured the shot when there was nobody on the road. That complements your text really well. The shape and curvilinear lines of the road guide the viewer's eye from one end to the other, until the road goes off into the distance. It's cool how you can see the road far in the distance but don't see past that. Again, that helps your text. Good use of space by putting the quote on the shoulder of the road, where there's a big blank canvas. But one thing again to try is playing with the levels more in Photoshop, cause I think more highlights in the picture would brighten the photo and make it even better than it already is. Other than that , I wouldn't change a thing.
Great photos Diana!!!! Happy Summer! :)
