Critique #2

Critique #2

Nick Roe

     The photo I choose for critique number 2 was a tree bent over on its side due to the ice formed on the tree. I am not really sure where this photo was taken but I’m sure it was taken during the winter. This tree has so much ice on it that it weights down the tree enough to bend it on its side and create a beautiful ice tree sculpture. The photographer who took this photo uses the field of view, and form to emphasize the uniqueness and beauty of what this frozen tree has become naturally.

     The photographer took this picture which only consists of the tree. He uses the field of view to single out the tree and make it the focal point of the picture. This “plain” background allows the tree to become more emphasized and make it the biggest and most important part of the photo.

     The photo also takes the form of the tree to emphasize it more. Because of all the weight of the ice, the tree is bent over in a natural way to create some kind of art sculpture look. It creates a look that only nature itself could create. This emphasizes the tree more because you never really see anything like this in art or in nature. So the tree itself is a unique thing that can’t be reproduced easily.

     This photo is very unique in that it was produced naturally. No human being created something like this. Because of that it makes this tree very unique in that it will probably not happen very often and it doesn’t last forever like most other paintings. The photographer who took this photo uses the field of view and form to make the sculpture tree stand out in a way that draws your attention.
