I wish I could have done better at figuring out what kind of lighting I used. The lighting i used in my shell picture was more direct than silhouette and looking back i wish i would have realized that earlier before we did the critiques. Otherwise i think i did farely well. The texture on my picture was my favorite part because when you look at it, it is as almost if you can reach your hand in the photograph and just grab the shell. You can see the design on the shell pretty clearly; the smooth rigid lines. The feedgback that i got back i thought was really good because it helped me to understand what i could have done better and to change the lighting to silhouette and how to do that. I did have some positive feedback on the shells texture, but some was also negative. I think the negative feedback was deserved and in the end just makes me a better photographer hearing what critiques the other photographers in class have to say. Even though this was not one of my best photos, i look at it in a way where i say that "next time will be better than the last and I will have more knowledge knowing what I should fix and do to my photo to make it a better and stronger looking portrait." I am grateful for the feedback i recieved because I like to hear other classmates points of view and their way of doing things. Hearing these ideas and critiques gives me ideas of what I can do in our next project and how to make it look spectacular!I wish Iculd have been given more positive feedback, but then again if Idid not get negative feedback then I am quite sure I would not know what would be a better photograph in the next project. Like I have said before i wish i would have done better with naming my photo. I think if i named it direct lighting instead of silhouette lighting, maybe i would have been given more positive feedback then what i got from others. Honestly speaking overall I am very pleased and grateful that I was given the feedback that it going to definetly help me in the long run be a better photographer.
