Willa Laski

Willa, my eye wants to see the edge of the leaves on left side of the photo so I would prefer the trunk to be placed further to the right so it might be balanced by more open blue sky and I can see the full extent of the yellow canopy.

I like the framing of the diagonal branches but I would make these comments: 1. shift the composition up. I don't think you need as much of the branch in the foreground. In fact the blurry blob at its base detracts my eye from what is in focus. 2. I like the diagonal composition, but the bark/branches that are the focal point of the image are not interesting enough to carry the image.

I really like this image. I think it could be improved by shifting the composition up a bit. The white blurry fluff caps at the bottom of the image are distracting. Also, my eye wants a little more perspective of what lies in the background. That is a better balance to the image than the current bottom foreground.

Like. The composition is nice. There could be more water as that is more interesting that the upper inch or so of the rock, but nice image.

My eye doesn't know where to go with this image. The focal point in the bottom left is not interesting enough to hold the eye and the rest of the branches at varying depths confuse my sense primary focus.

Good depth of field. There is something that my eye doesn't like about all of the diagonal cross beams pointing out of the photograph to the right. It leads m out of the photo and away from the cool detail of the curved beam. Perhaps a vertical composition that captures just the left arch would work...?

Great light and depth of field. I would shift the composition a bit to the left hopefully balancing the bright color on the left side of the image and bring in more shadows on the right.

Bring the mushroom a little more into the lower left third and shift your position to give the log a more diagonal line through the image. Also, it would be good to crop out more of the chaotic shrubs which distract from the mushroom, leaves, and cottonwood bark. Do all of this with a deep depth of field and you have a pretty nice photo.

Great leaf detail. Though this doesn't show a deep depth of field, the image is stronger by focusing more on the cool leaf. I would love to see it all the way to the tip so my eye is a little disappointed by losing the tip of the leaf. Nice image.

I like it, but unfortunately a little blurry.

Great composition and depth of field. I like the diagonal layout and the intriguing pair of feet.

This image makes me wonder what the eye is looking at. As you can see with the black it is easy to under-expose and create a very dark element to the photo.

I like the abstractness of this image.

Cool image, a little dark so pay attention to your histogram. What would it look like with a broad depth of field?

I really like the way you captured this quote surrounded by the eroded concrete. It makes it stand out. Also, nice use of a broad depth of field that keeps everything in focus.

Great composition, but the depth of field is lacking a bit (unless you intended to have the focus be more on the words...).

Good shot. It does tell a story of buses ready to go, which they do a lot!

I like the abstract composition of this shot. It certainly speaks to every sage student show regularly stacks these chairs. It could use a bump up on the exposure. Perhaps the composition could include more of the curve from the backrest in the top left.

I really like this shot. Sometimes you get lucky with the people moving in your photos. Sam's jumping and body position speak to the joy and fun that happens every day at SAGE. Now if only I had not left the bloody looking (red paint) rag on the rail from painting our voting booths. An ideal composition might be shifted a little to the left with all three boys not blocked by the greenhouse posts.

Nice narrow depth of field on the bike, but nothing in the image links it in any way to SAGE.
