Assignment of the Week: Delivering Your Subject

[PWS-Staff]

Choose one of the elements from the chapter (for example, C-curve, S-curve, diagonal leading line, Rule of Thirds) and create a strong composition using this element. Be sure that the child, or children, as subject is delivered to the viewer.

This photographer took great advantage of both the Rule of Thirds and negative space to create a very beautiful and powerful image. This photograph also uses leading lines to great effect. Taken at ISO 200, f/8.0, and 1/800 second using highly creative post-processing (see Chapter 11 for ideas).
