This is my favorite place in Kansas City. The fountain at the Plaza. It's so great. It is so inspiring to me and I can't get enough of it. I always wonder how long it took to make these sculptures and I can't believe how talented this artist was. The sculptures are huge and amazing with so much detail, I could look at it for hours.
I like how you included your feet in the picture. It'll be interesting where you would go from here in you 30 frame assignment.
ReplyDeleteConcept:
ReplyDeleteExcellent. Both images are very airy and open, but the spaces you're working with seem to work well from that vantage point and content/meaning.
Composition:
Good choices. I feel like I want a different angle for the garden image. Something maybe more eye-level. Only because it is such an intimate memory and feels just a tad distant when drawn from an above angle.
Detail/execution:
The overall attention to detail is excellent. However, both images could use some tone, contrast and more detail. The fountain image feels "naked" because there isn't a strong sense of gravity due to the lack of tonality. Landscapes are naturally balanced against the sky (normally). So it's literally a solid against nothingness. When the tonality of an image is complete, especially in a landscape, it creates a stronger and more believable sense of atmosphere.
Following instruction:
Excellent
