Challenge:School Days (Basic Editing I) Camera:Olympus C-720UZ Location: Evanston, IL Date: Oct 18, 2004 Aperture: 3.4 ISO: 400 Shutter: 1/15 Date Uploaded: Oct 18, 2004
A very difficult shot to expose and has achieved it well. If there was the time I would have taken another with a far wider aperture to have lost some dof in the background. Try cropping out the cupboard (I think it is) on the left. It competes with the light colour of the jumper and is off vertical.
Good idea and good shot. But why the garbage right behind? The context is what's missing: I was looking all over your shot for signs this was a classroom but it doesn't look like one.
I'm begining to think that education is an exercise in relaxation or a brain draining event. I guess there is no replacing early to bed and rise, good food and exercise. I love the combination of whites and darks between papers, sweater and sunlight vs vest hair + shadow and background furniture. Good 8 mate.
One of my favorites in the challenge. I would have preferred a less cluttered background, but know this is exactly what you'll see at a school! Good luck with your entry.
