About the photo:
If you didn't see yesterday's post, I have been house-sitting at my aunt and uncle's house this weekend. Their house sits on the banks of a river, and it's sooo pretty. Before, I've only house-sat during the summer, but I got to see how pretty it is during the winter too!
My aunt is very picky about her animals... she has four garbage cans full of bird seed in her garage, and she left me very specific instructions about feeding them. This morning, I woke up and filled all of the feeders per her instructions. Then a few hours later, I saw two deer, about fifteen pheasants and a few handfuls of other birds outside! It was really amazing!
Assessment:
- Color: (Or lack thereof.) I decided to turn this photo to monochrome because I felt like the color really didn't enhance the photo at all -- especially because the palate was pretty bland anyway with the white snow and brown trees and animals. As a black and white image, the trees and the animals really stand out against the background.
- Lines: I like the visual effect created by the trees. It adds a little interest to the photo in a vertical way.
- Chaos: There were a lot of unplanned elements in this photo... namely, the animals. I was just shooting rapidly to try to get a good picture, but I kind of like the chaos of the animals all roaming around.
- I wish you could see the deer a little better... I tried some more zoomed shots, but I liked being able to see the whole scene. Oh well, I guess you win some and lose some!
- I didn't really capture the depth of the scene either. The yard has several terraces, so the deer is much further down than some of the pheasants in the foreground. The perspective is a little off because of that.
