Haunted Chavez

Haunted Chavez is our first project that we work on alone maybe with some assistance from the teacher when we're in need.! In this project we had to find a setting in our school and make it seem haunted some way or another. We were told to choose a setting to which we have or had an experience with and in some way can relate to it. We were told to have a main character, which had to be placed in the rule of thirds in our picture. We were allowed to have as many extra character but we also had to be in the picture either as the main emphasis or an extra character. We had to put all that together plus apply the tutorials we were taught using photoshop.
In my picture my setting was the playground used for the preschoolers in the child development class. My main character is the ghost scary the little girl. By the slide is one of the triplets that fell from the slide, hit her head and is unconscious. The third triplet is really afraid of what is happening and is being hugged by her older sister to calm her down.
This was one of my classes last year so it came right away to my mind. My initial idea was something else. I had planned to use the same setting but make the composition a little different. I was going to place a zombie by the fence around the playground as if it was leaving after eating a little girl.
I think that the composition was the most difficult decision i had to make. I was really hard trying to figure out were to place everything in the picture and still making it look like they belonged there. Another difficult thing was trying to figure out if i wanted the zombie in there or if i was going to make a ghost.
I would honestly say that the composition was one of the hardest problems i had to figure out. It might not have turned out the best but it was OK. I worked the composition but it was really hard figuring it out. At the end i placed my characters in an OK position although it could of been better.
I think that i did very well on taking the pictures. I had some really good pictures i just didn't really place them in the correct spot. I think i made an awesome ghost that's how a ghost would look to me if i were to see one in real life.
Overall i think i did OK on the first project that i worked on without the giudence of the teacher. I could of done better though. I think that the composition was poor but the pictures were really good by themselves.

Critique: Parkeharrison's "Guardian"

A man stands the middle of a dark brown tree stomp. He can’t keep his balance due to those long stilts he is standing on. Sharp pointy tree barks surround the ground; in his face you see the fear. The tree branches of his broken wings allow you to think that he is trying to keep his balance and fly away from his fears that he can’t face. The man’s desperate face allows you to fell his fears. He is at the point were he is about to stumble into those prickly tree barks yet he manages to keep balance. The dimming light in the background is fading away slowly as time passes by while that man awaits his fatal destiny. This photograph vividly illustrates the fear of a man standing alone in the world without any one to help him face his fears. It tends to portray that the man some how is managing that fear but yet he still needs a little push to fly away with those broken wings.
