Hey Lynn! I enjoyed looking at your post for this week. I think the image you chose paired perfectly with the article you chose. I like that the image isn’t a typical work setting that one might think of, like an office. I also think the subjects in the image follow the rule of thirds pretty well which makes the overall composition look great. Great job!!
Hi Lynn!
The scene presented seems quite serene, though I imagine the work itself must be difficult. The image has a nice line of motion from the person in the lower right along the row of workers, and your choice to use the color of the man’s jacket to integrate the title into the image was an acceptable tool for combination. That being said, a bolder color, such as the purple of the next to top-most person’s hoodie, might have blended less with the nearby sky and made for a more intense contrast. I also appreciate that you kept your title and body text within the hill, allowing the natural line from the sky and land to remain undisturbed. Well done!
