Michaila Cohen- Art Gallery Critique



Although a small photo, it was one that grabbed my attention and pulled me in. This photo is of a young woman in what seems to be a simple alley between houses. Usually this is something that we see every day and would just pass by because it has no interest to us,  but this photo makes it into something beautiful. By looking at this picture, it makes you want to be the woman in the picture and be in the place that she is. Strengths of this photo is that the photographer used rule of thirds to make the woman stand out from her surroundings causing her to be the focus. They also use leading lines from the shingles on the houses so that when you follow them your eyes fall on the woman in the picture. One weakness of this photo is that because it is so small, some of the details aren't as crisp and they do not stand out as much as they should. Another thing is that the color of the photo does not make it very interesting to me. I would much rather see the beautiful colors of the woman and her surroundings to make the picture stand out more.
