evaluation of exhibition photos

The subject of this image is a medium shot of buildings that are in disrepair.  This photo uses various lines and different shapes. These elements helps draw the viewers attention to certain areas in the image.  The lack of bright colours and the tarnishes on the building makes this photo suitable for my chosen category of buildings in disrepair.  The different shapes seen in this image our the many rocks that are placed in a vertical lines in front of the building.  This image also uses the rule of thirds as it is focused to the left hand side of the image.  Using this technique immediately draws the viewers eyes the object that is placed to the left hand side.  As I took the image at a certain angle, It makes the building and its surroundings look longer and further away.  I think that this photo could be improved by taking the photo when it is dark with some lights on to further empathise the run down state of the building.  Some class mates have viewed this image and agree that to improve this photo I should use different lighting, they also suggested that I should use a different shot for example a close up, which will help pronounce the disrepair  and rundown state of the building.

The subject of this image is a medium shot of a building that is in disrepair.  Similarly to my image, this photo uses dull colours and a good use of lines.  The cracks in the stone which is seen in the staircase leading to the building, and the damp surrounding the windows, showcases the rundown state of this building and clearly shows a state of disrepair.  I like how this image was taken at an angle because it gives a different perspective on the image but it also creates the illusion that the building is longer  and further away, similar to the photo that I took.  In conclusion I feel that this image is a good example of a medium shot however I feel that it could use a rule of thirds as it will show more of the surroundings.
