Lighting Critique Response

I think that I did pretty well on the lighting assignment. I think that my photo succeeded as a diffuse lighting photo. I think that my other photos that were not critiqued were good lighting photos too. The feedback that I received was positive and I think that some of it was deserved. I think that it was deserved because it really was a good example of diffuse lighting and it showed the depth in the photo and my photo had good balance. But I personally think that there was too much going on in my photo. I did not really like how there were houses in the background and power lines; they distracted the viewer from the main focus point which was the tree. I thought people were going to say that my photo was to distracting because that's what I thought but I don’t think anyone said that. My perception of my photo did change a little bit. I did not really think too much about the snow in the photo but people liked it. They thought that it showed depth and I had not even thought about that. They also thought that my photo had good balance and I did not even think about balance when I was taking the photo. I was just thinking and hoping that it would be a good diffuse photo. However, I was thought that it would be really cool if I got snow in the photo and I did, but I did not think it was a big deal. I just thought that it would look cool. People, in class, thought of things that I did not even consider when I was taking the photograph. I think that the critique was very helpful and it made me see things that I probably would not have ever noticed. I liked doing the critique and I think that we should do them for some more assignments. It was very helpful. I enjoyed doing it and seeing everyone else's photos and critiquing them. Overall, I think that my photo did well and this assignment was good.
