I generally like pictures that are full, photographs that take much appreciation to understand and that can always surprise. However, if the composition is overcrowded I think it takes away from the focal point. It is for this reason that I am pleased that the below image is in black and white. Although I love colour pictures, I know that in some cases it detracts from the photograph. Contrasts in photography, as in life, make things more interesting and can serve to highlight certain aspects of the photograph. But balance is also very important, sometimes elements can overpower each other causing the photograph to become hectic and painful to look at. I like to photograph pictures that people can relate to, whether that means capturing an emotion, or capturing a moment. I am very excited to work in the dark room, and I can't wait to get some helpful tips with my own pictures.

Julia I love this picture because of all the contradictory elements. The cats and the water, everything held in suspension. The picture captures the artist, Salvador Dali, in a way that represents his art as well as his personality as it was portrayed to the public. The effort and numerous tries it took to get this picture further my enjoyment and respect for the photographer and for the artist himself. Thanks for your introduction. I love this photo! 15/15
