I like this picture because of the way i faded out the background and made my little sister stand out more, but I also do not like the small faded portions by her cup. This picture intrigues me, but I can make it better this is the least successful picture on my project right now,but I will improve it by the time I present it.
Fix Hands Photo
This is the photo that I need to fix for my project. I need to make the edges of the hand more even because right now they are very choppy.
I feel that this is my weakest image. There is just too much going on, between the overly saturated background and the desaturated figure. If I were to change it, I'd definitely make the background less busy by making the tones more neutral and editing the slide so that it doesn't draw the eye as much.
Trapped
I like this photo but I think it is my weakest because I am not entirely sure that it goes with my theme which is things in places where they don't belong. It may not effectively represent this theme because the plant is in water, where it should be. But, the idea is that it is trapped in this bottle instead of being free to grow in the surrounding environment. To make it fit better with the theme, I think I could take the water out of the bottle.

Throughout my project my biggest flaw is that I didn't think about the background for a few. If it were possible, I would reshoot this photo on a football field. However, I cannot do that because she know longer has her uniform. Luckily noticed this flaw before I made this mistake on too many.

I like this photo but it needs to be cleaned up. The horizon line is slanted and the railing in the background takes away from the image. I am going to edit out the railing and rotate the image so the horizon is straight.
Final Project: Weakest Photo
Although this picture accomplishes what I am trying to say in this particular diptych, I still think this is one of my weakest photos. I don't particularly like the angle, but I will try other things, like removing excess trees, to enhance the image.
This picture is my biggest problem and I will not use it if I do not need to. I took this picture with my phone and the quality is extremely bad. It was dark and hard for my phone to capture the light clearly. Also it is slanted at an odd angle. This picture had potential if it had been set up better and taken with a different camera

The reason that I think this is my biggest problem because the photo of Dawson photoshopped into the lens looks out of place. I've lowered the opacity and put it in black and white but it still looks out of place. I'm not entirely sure what I am going to do about this but I might lower the opacity even more and put it in black and white, or I will take another picture and try to make Dawson look like she is crawling out of the camera to show that she is letting go of the things that make her happiness artifical.
Final Project- Largest Problem
While there are individual photos which I think I can improve upon, the biggest problem I can see with my project is the fact that some of my work has only a very tenuous connection with my theme (the importance of small details and the bigger picture). I feel as though I'm stretching to make certain photos relevant, and the explanations are convoluted, such as this surrealist one:
I'm satisfied with the composition itself, but cannot deny that it holds little to no meaning in the context of the project. The cylinder, I supposed, could be a "magnifying glass" of sorts onto the sky, but I hadn't figured out what the sky itself meant. I initially did it because I thought it looked interesting, but it needs to be something more than that.
I could rectify this situation by simply going through both my final and tentative photos and thinking about how relevant they are. If my explanation for any of them is too abstract or convoluted, I will either revise or eliminate those photos.

Final Project Problamo
I feel like this photo was shot at a strange angle and isn't very eye catching. I'll either take a different photo or try to fix this one as best I can. The lighting is not prime and I'm just not very interested while looking at this particular photo.
I believe that this image is my weakest because the car looks like it doesnt belong in the picture although it was in the background originally. Also, the tree editing isnt complete and still has patches of the original image. Furthermore, this image is, for lack of a better term, boring, and doesn't have obvious any spot of interest. A way I could improve this is by clone stamping leaves so patches of the tree layer that do not belong are blended. Because the photo in a whole is lacking creativity and interest, deleting it from the project may be the best solution.

Photo Problem
My biggest problem in the project is the fact that the majority of my photos look like they were in the same conditions and I would like to vary the conditions that I shoot in. Also the order of my pictures doesn't seem to flow and I will probably the shift the order
Final Project Weakness
I would say this picture is the weakest photo because it is not very eye-catching and the lighting is dull. I can fix this photo by shooting it on a brighter and sunnier day to fix the lighting. This picture could have better potential than I have given it.
I am doing my project on transportation and how important it is to us. I feel like I have a good theme to work with but some of my photos are are very dull and boring. I think I have to think of better ideas for my photos and use my creativity to make them work well with this project. I think I can make this project really neat but will need creative photos for it.
Project Problem
This is one of my pictures that I will be using for my project. I feel like the prob with this picture is that I should probably crop off some of the side on the left plus I want to make her and the balloon pop out and not the background. I feel like another prob with my project is the statement. I think I need to think of a better way to say what I am doing instead of actually say "ohh I am doing this".
weakness
I think this image was done poorly because I had to crop out a part of a palm tree. When I asked people if they noticed where I cropped it out, they could tell where I had cropped it. I plan to take another image just like this one this weekend to make up for the problems.
Final Project Problem
For my project I have censor bars covering all the eyes and one of my problems is that some of the photos look good with it and some look good without it. I think overall all I also may need to make some small edits to each individual photo to make them stronger.
final project austin sams
I feel like my biggest weakness is that in a couple of my pictures in my project, the picture itself is a really good but, you can tell that I took the picture the same day and the same place. I need to a better job at hiding the fact that the picture was taken during the same time. I might need to separate them in the slide.
Final project Griffin stinson
I feel that my project has two issues. First, i need to revise my artist statement. Second, I need to reconsider the order of my photos in the slideshow and how the presentation flows.
