X-atco Knives, Macro, f 3.5 - 1/200th - ISO 80

Critique Sample: 
This photo is a macro photo of papers that were sitting on the desk during the macro shoot. I like the photo due to the leading lines that establish eye motion leading you deeper into the image. The use of the shallo Depth of field creates les focus in the background so the eye is also drawn to the front of the image. The busyness and randomness of the papers creates interest and depth.


Self evaluation: Include the following

• Focus: 1-5 pts, focus and center of interest evident.
  
• Contrast & Optimization: 1-5 pts, good contrast and optimization results using Photoshop.
  
• Visual Impact: 1-5 pts, Originality, visual impact, set-up and composition. Rule of thirds and design principles.
  
• Presentation: 1-5 pts, Blog post with self critique well thought out.
  
• Contact sheet: 1-5 pts, Was the contact sheet included in the bottom of the blog post?
