PhotoBlog Post - Part 2

Photoblogs Post Part 1

One photo blog I found interesting was William Darhy's PhotoBlog. These are some of the pictures I found that I liked.

About a pair of green eyes...

The use of color is the most striking thing about this picture. The model's brilliant green eyes are the first thing to capture your attention, and all of her face really captures the light. What makes this picture even better is the contrasts away from the center of her face. While her face practically glows, the darker shadows offer a contrast that further enhances the brightness of her eyes and face, and the color of her outfit matches that of her eyes. I also liked that while the model was obviously posing, it is a more natural pose.

African American with a red dress - Harlem

This picture is great because upon your first glance you can already tell a lot about where this photo was taken. The colors of the woman's dress also match with the colors of the building next to her. I also like the lighting in the picture, combined with the puddles makes it look like the sun just came out after the rain.

Boy climbing a wall - West Village

This picture is interesting because of the state of the boy climbing the wall. He looks like he has already started, but then something over to his right stopped him. The intentions and thoughts of the boy make up most of what you might think about this picture. Visually, I like the way the picture is spaced. I like that the left half is the boy at the window, and then the left half is just an empty wall with a pipe in the pavement.
