This photo stood out to me from the outset of my project. I enjoyed the fast moving colors and moving streaks that truly show that this is a photo of movement. However much I liked the original photo, however, there were a few important ways it could be better. The subjects are centered in the middle of the photograph, with no use of the rule of thirds<\/a>. I was going to just attempt to crop the mother and daughter so that it looked like they were moving towards something, but then I thought about making the child the focal point of the picture. By applying the rule of thirds and cropping most of the mom out of the photo, I was able to completely change the feeling of the image. We now wonder where the child is going to go, anticipating the space on the left to be filled, and making the already dynamic photo truly kinetic. This also simplifies the background, allowing the viewer to focus in on our single subject. Given a child’s eyes, the viewer now follows the girl’s gaze to look with wonder and fear into the distance, experiencing for the first time a “new life in the busy city.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
