Photo Challenge

This week's challenge is an exercise dealing with the Law of Thirds (LOT).
The rules were to take 3 photographs of the same subject in three different ways, or take one photo, and crop it three different ways.
I chose to take one photo and crop it three ways, since my little J man is sick, and I couldn't do a separate photo shoot for this assignment. So I am using little Addison, whose pictures I took 2 weeks ago, along with her family. She slept through the WHOLE session, and I couldn't resist taking one of her snuggled up, sinking into her parent's comforter.
I really enjoy utilizing the LOT in my photography, so this was a fun little challenge!

this is the original image:


this one is really elegant and minimalist-
the profile of the baby created a beautiful line from the top to the bottom

I like how there seems to be a balance of very dark on the L
compared with the very white of the baby on the R- it is more pronounced in this image.

Awww! Em what a darling photo! I really love the pattern on the fabric. It was a strong choice to go b/w on this one. Did you burn the left side in? I like the touch...it balances nicely with the darkness behind Addison's head, and the darkness of the lines in the comforter.

The first and last images are my favorite. I'm not a huge fan of the second only because I feel like too much of the baby is cut out.

I hope the parents like this image as much as I do!

These are really beautiful pictures, Emily. I have probably told you that already, but it's still true. I think the last one is my favorite, not really sure why though. I loved them all :)
