Lilly Moore's critiques for Dawson Simpson

Dawson came up with a very creative topic and I can tell a lot of effort was put into the different ideas for photographs.  She included a lot of strong images and the concept was well thought out. The first image is really strong, although I do think the bottom part could be cropped up to just below the heart. But other than that, I really enjoy this picture. With the second image, I think it would look better, or more realistic I should say, to either use a different picture that is clearer or change the landscape background to one like cement or something that is easier to make appropriated cars look realistic on. And I recommend almost the same thing for the third image. The ideas and concepts behind these pictures are great, but I do think it would have been better to use a clearer picture, if realistic was the goal for these images. I really like the last digital image. It was a really solid idea to put models in a poorer area of town. It would not be a terrible idea to desaturate the models a little tiny bit, but overall the picture is very well composed. For the prints, I really like how they turned out. The one with the house and the clothes hanging from clothesline is my favorite. It turned out really good and the only thing I would have changed is the cropping. I think it would look a little better if the top of the house was not cropped out. And lastly, the print with the Mona Lisa turned out really cool. I love the idea of putting a priceless piece of art in a more grungy area and I love the way it turned out. Overall, Dawson did a great job with her concept and pictures and I applaud her for her hard work.
