I am looking at Amy's works and I'm liking the direction that the crossing lines are pulling the eyes. the shadow is kind of understated when compared to the movement of the piece. the retouch of the parking likes i like better because the first picture lacked in color so the monotone wasn't very appealing but adding the yellow gave it a nice pop. her second picture is interesting because the large of the shadows cuts the picture making the focus more on the chain links and their shadows. there is also some slight texture in the mud prints and in the tarp on the fence. the crop really cuts the angle down so there is not alot of empty space which dominated the original of the picture. the focus on the pattern was cool and even the shadows on the fence itself makes it interesting to look at. changing the color of the tarp was nicely down didn't miss any spots or drag out. over all i like the way both pictures drag you eye in a directions rather then having to focus on one spot.
i really would have liked to see the pictures she took in the trees. the first one looks cool with all the lighting behind the trees making the front sides seem dark. i would have kept it in black and white too. makes it look more dramatic. the other one i would have used would have been the picture of the 2 willow trees. i think the way the light would have differed on the leaves would have looked cool if she had cropped it close. the different lighting on the leaves would have given it an air feel and would have made me think of being outside on a nice day.
