So to start off, I love the color blue. I think thats what first drew my attention to this one and then I started to notice the whole composition of the photo. The comet-like streaks are tuna apparently. I like that the fish are smooth, soft blurs because normally fish move in these really twitchy, mechanical jerks which makes an interesting contrast. Also, it takes a little concentration and imagination to envision those smudges as living creatures and I can get really into photos that ask for a little creativity and imagination from the viewer.
I'm a big fan of the dimensions in this one. It's always interesting to see a little piece of something so up close in a way you would never normally notice. I love the way the water droplet magnifies the image even more and how perfectly round it is. I feel like people normally think of nature as unstructured and disorderly, but if you really check it out, there is a whole lot of straight symmetrical lines and perfectly formed shapes.
I wanted to add a black and white picture since that's what we're doing in class. I chose this one for a couple reasons. When I first saw it I originally thought it was a bunch of silver jewelery and then realized that it's seaweed, which isn't related at all. So I like that the photo took some time to decipher. Also, the name of the image is "Sea Crap" which is kind of funny, especially since I thought it was a bunch of expensive necklaces with little pearls, not slimy seaweed.
