Finals for Project 3!

Part 1
Composition: I wanted to focus on the fragile thin flowering plant set against the large rigid greenhouse and large tree.
Concept/Aboutness/Idea: I wanted to focus on the beauty that can be found outside of the greenhouses instead of what we are used to seeing on the inside.
Method: I used flash to help capture detail in the flower since it was overcast.
Motivations: I wanted to capture how delicate the flower was compared to the greenhouse.
Context: I'm looking at the greater picture of beauty and how it is perceived. Most people think of the flowers in the greenhouse, not the ones growing outside of the greenhouse.
Part 2
Interpretation: The overall idea wasn't quite there, but they noticed how fragile the flower was.
Evaluation: I did not get the overall idea of comparison to work, possibly because it is hard to see that it is a greenhouse behind it.
Extension: I would love to do a series on the intricacies of flowers.

Part 1
Composition: I wanted to focus on the reflective properties in the water for this piece.
Concept/Aboutness/Idea: This is one of those groves of trees just on the other side of a busy road, nobody really wonders what beauty they actually hold inside.
Method: I used flash, but could not capture the detail I wanted, however I was able to recall a lot of information using camera raw.
Motivations: I wanted to capture the beauty that most people will never see, the beauty in the world left to mother nature herself.
Context: I'm trying to show the beauty in places that people don't normally see.
Part 2
Interpretation: There wasn't much conversation on this photo.
Evaluation: I didn't get much feedback on this photo.
Extension: I could do more pieces focusing on reflective properties.

Part 1
Composition: I wanted to focus on the flower and still have the contrast of the dark green background from the trees behind it as well.
Concept/Aboutness/Idea: I wanted to portray how soft the flower was and how gentle the petals were.
Method: I used flash to help capture detail in the flower since it was overcast.
Motivations: I wanted to capture how the flower felt.
Context: I'm looking simply at the form and feel of the flower itself.
Part 2
Interpretation: This photo received the best feedback out of all four. They loved the texture and softness of the petals.
Evaluation: The idea definitely was received, and I could not have been happier with the reviews.
Extension: I would love to do a series on the intricacies of flowers.

Part 1
Composition: I wanted to blend the building into nature.
Concept/Aboutness/Idea: I wanted to portray the fact that greenhouses are made to emulate nature.
Method: I used the cloudy day to my advantage and blew out part of the roof into the sky.
Motivations: I wanted to capture how greenhouses emulate nature.
Context: I wanted to speak on how good greenhouses really are and how much they do emulate nature.
Part 2
Interpretation: The over all idea wasn't quite received, however the over all aesthetics were picked up on.
Evaluation: The context may need some tweaking, however the over all idea was partially there.
Extension: I could do a whole series on greenhouses blending into nature.
