I think the design choices of this photo turned out very well and created an interesting composition. My eye goes directly to his hand, down his arm to the lantern, and then to his face. I like how it is uncentered yet it still has balance. I'd say the way the light is hitting the subject, the lantern becomes the main subject. I really enjoy the lighting in this photo and the way it falls on his hand and the lantern. I also like how half of his face is showed, creating some drama. There is also a wide range of values, creating a nice contrast. The content itself is slightly interesting, mostly because of the lantern. With these photos I tried to be very candid and I think that shows through his facial expression.
This is probably the most successful photo that I took for this project. I love the energy and the positive emotion that it gives off. It is very quirky and random, just like Carly's personality. I also like the composition, and I like how it is centered but her arm holding the pot and the flowers protruding off to the top rights helps create more asymmetrical balance. It does bug me a little how her elbow is cut off but I don't think it ruins the picture. I also love the affect of the lighting on the flowers, her face, and her arm/hand. I also think that the drama of the black and white contrasts in kind of an ironic way with the happiness in her face.
