- When I look at this picture, my eyes at first look to the lighter part of the palm, and then travel over to the area where the fingers are grasping the palm.
- The subject of this photo is the hand of an ape. It is a close up picture and the ultimate focus is on that and only on that.
- This is expressing the detail and complexity of the ape, as it provides an extremely clear and detailed view of the wrinkles on the palm of the hand and the hairs on the fingers. You are also able to see the hair coming from the top of the hand, as it is longer and wraps around the side.
Would the photo look better through a different focal length (change in distance from subject)?
- I think the focal length of this photo is almost perfect, for if the picture were zoomed in a bit, the viewers would be missing some of the detail on the fingers and the edges of the hand. If it were taken closer, the viewers would only get to see the palm, and the photo would be less interesting overall.
Do you like this photo?
- I chose this photo to critique because I really like it. I like it because usually my favorite photos are those taken close up, and focus on one particular subject. This photo is not busy, but it is not too simple either. The composure of this photo was really well done, as there is a specific focal point and the lighting is also pretty well exposed over the entire photo. I really think it's interesting how the photographer got the ape to remain still long enough to take this picture and for it to turn out extremely clear, not blurry at all. I love how you can see every bit of detail in the palm, fingers, and all over the subject.
