Description

So, for my first I have to criticize this shot I took. It is an image of a black, leathery cloth with a white line going down the right side of it. To the left of the line are 2 metal rings, one being partially cut out of the photo. You can tell, from some of the dirt and such on the white line, that this photo IS in color. The goal of this photo was to kind'a confuse. Is it a jacket? A shoe? A tarp? WHO KNOWS!

Analysis

This peace kind'a relies on that white line. Not only dose it help to break up the constant black, but it also helps to frame the photo and lead you through it. You start off looking at the line, looking it up and down. Then, you see the kind'a scratchy, leathery texture to the left of it, drawing you to the left. You then go down, seeing the metal loops in the material. Then you're back at the line, only now you ;look at the right side, and notice that it is noticeable more smooth than the leathery textured side, which is much more bare than the left side with the loops.

Critic 

I feel like the photo achieves the enigmatic nature it was taken with. However, I feel like if I had put it through a black and white filter, it would be harder to really tell exactly what it is, and as a result, make it a better photo with more mystique about it.
