Jessica- Playing with light

Picture 1
This picture creates a really nice reflection in the ocean. with the foam in the water, it creates a really nice pattern. She used a horizontal format in this picture. This picture has a asymmetrical balance where the water takes up majority of the picture and the land is just a third of the picture. That balance makes the picture for me!

Picture 2
I like the position she has taken the picture to where there are three different sized lights in the whole picture. I also like the clouds in the picture. they create a mood for he picture. She used a lot of converging lines in this picture. There is a rule of thirds applied in this picture too. This picture has a felt balance.

Picture 3
This picture is in the same location as the last on but she shot it at a different time, using the sun as the light source this time. I like the reflection of the flag on the strip of tiles in the left corner. Also the light in the water is like it is creating a gradient going from light near the far bridge to dark towards the front. In this picture she has also captured motion blur in the flags. this picture has a felt balance with the land being in one half and the water being in the other half,

Picture 4
I really like the mystery in this picture. I think that the balance in his picture with the dark all around and just one source of light is really nice.  She used the rule of thirds in this picture as the door is on a third and not in the center. The lights hitting on the bricks also shows a really nice texture on the bricks that is not seen in the bricks which are in the dark.

Picture 5
This is a picture of the moon. I like the clouds surrounding the moon as it creates a good balance with the  darks parts. This picture has a blur, It wold have been a really nice picture if she used a tripod!
