Annotations of Hunt Slonem's image -
In this photograph I can see that Slonem has stuck to particular colours and shades that are all grey , black and white which I think makes his work a good response to openings because he has blacked out all the surrounding areas of the opening and the only bits that are shown are ghostly white and grey . Slonem's work has a very gothic isolated feel to it because of the texture and how there are no people in the image . What intrigues me about this image is that the opening is almost like a tear shape which accentutates the gloomy mood of the image . In this image the formal elements that seem important are : lines , texture and repetition. I do not think that this image has been cropped because I think that if I were to zoom out of this image it would still have the surrounding areas in all black . I think this image is effective because it is another take on an image of openings that will catch the viewers attention straight away . |

I think these images have dimension to them and look very defined The edges are very prominent I have altered the background to be out of focus so the shapes are more prominent In the second image the shape is very prominant and 3D |

Use bigger shapes Use a bigger range of subject matter Try using all the same shapes in each images different range of colours shapes need more impact Could have used more textures |

Includes lots of edges A good amount of openings some parts of the image are in and out of focus lots of different textures I have used techniques such as extreme close up Lots of these images look like the photographers that have inspired me |
EBI
Include more people Brighter colours Take images from different perspectives More architecture I have used what is around me to create openings I should have tried to stick to more of a theme in these images |
