Color Critique

I liked that Michelle's pictures were all very different.  You can tell that she took time to go out and shoot in different areas at different times of the day.

In her first image, I loved that she took the picture at an upward angle so that the flowers popped against the bright blue sky.

In her second image, I thought the brightness of the cobalt blue glass was a nice contrast to the dull brown rocks.  It is a nice contrast too in the fact that the blue glass was something man made against rocks that came from nature.

The sun illuminating off the balloons really made the colors stand out in her fourth image.  And again the sun illuminating off the orange fencing in her last photo really made the color stand out and pop.

I enjoyed looking at Michelle's photographs and hearing her take on mine and the photos of the other students in the class.  She has a great eye for detail and pointed out things I never would have seen.  Great job!!!
