Depth of Field and Focus

The depth of field in most of the pictures is shallow.  This helps the yellow pop out.  with the depth of field being shallower it helps make the picture less blurry, because the aperture is open more so more light comes in in a shorter time. The focus on the majority of the pictures is in the center.  In the lemon picture the focus is on the end.  

Exposure:

My pictures have good exposure.  The only problem I have with the exposure is that the image begins to blend into the background, I can fix this by editing the pictures.  In some of the pictures the Depth of field is a little bit to deep.  I could fix this by changing the exposure and and apperature.  This may have required a tripod, but i think it would have been better. 

Lighting

In four of the immages I used synthetic light.  I think this was a mistake because it gave the pictures more of an orange glow.  The other pictures were natural light.   The pictures with the natural light came out bright, which I thought was great because when I was taking the pictures, I was going for a brighter yellow.    The pictures have the light comming from all over.  On the flowers it was somming from above, the light on the tree came from behind, and the lemmons, number and eye came from above.  

Lines:

In these pictures I tryed to use less of the rule of thirds, because in the past I have had too much empty space. An example of a picture that I feel took up the space around the outside would be the one of the yellow daisy that is taken mostly of the center of the flower.    That same flower also used leading lines.  The outside pedals have lines that lead into the center of the flower.  Which I feel is where the eye should be drawn in the picture.  In the picture of the tree there is repitition.  Another thing that repeats it the color throughout the immage. 

Composition

In the over all image there are a few things I could fix.  One think I could do to make the picture more visually appealing would be to move some of the pictures around so the same colors arent right next to each other.  For example the lemmons and the yellow numbers start to blend together if I would have put a different picture there it might have  blended less.  I also think that it would have helped in a compositional way too. It would have done this by draging your eye around the picture instead of being stuck on the block of darker yellow in the middle right side. 

Color/ Value

In this image a color scheme of yellow is used.  This has a realistic scheme.  When I look at theis picture I get the feeling of summer, eeventhough it is taken in the fall.  This feeling is made by the color scheme.  The two similar colors of yellow help to draw your eye in and keep it there.
