This photograph ive chosen is my own photo, i chose this photo because it has a interesting composition and how the lines are curved , it has a very nice leading of lines the contras is very clear.
it is really appealing to the eye this photography portrays a semi primary shap , circle. and wht i like about this photograph is the texture , which it gives its a nice effect especially the colour green.

Also the shallow depth of feild makes it really interesting, the focus on the seat is really eye catching and the grass just shown as some what out of focus. While giving great focus to the seat it also gives me room to imagine what could be, and fill up room in my head, of what could be in the out of focus area. And yes the lines are very interesting for leading the eye through the page ( or up through the picture in this case)... The other thing I notice is that the chair takes up over 2/3rds of the page so it is really dominate and hard to avoid looking at. really bold.

Another artist who uses the shallow depth of feild really effectively is Martin Parr in portraiture...http://www.martinparr.com/index1.html

And also this flickr photographer...'Moaan'... this is his website: :)

Thanks Ronald,

I think it's great that you are such a prolific photographer, but for the purposes of learning more about your craft it might be good to study some of the "greats" in your field.

Also, you mention colour as though it was a texture - although some people with synaesthesia might agree with you, I believe they are two separate phenomena.

PS One other thing I forgot to say is that you use the word "nice" twice - this is one of those words that Rebecca said aren't useful in describing images because they don't actually tell you anything! Try to be more specific.
