Compare and Contrast: In the top photo I was trying to get close enough to the spider that had been tormenting me all day. I thought the red pot and pink in the bottles and the pink string were complimented by the greens in the photo. I thought the green and red added a crispness to the photograph that I found overall appealing. In the bottom photograph I moved the camera lens down a little bit and zoomed in. Still on auto focus and without flash, I did notice the ISO setting had changed to 400, I took a close up of the corner where the spider had scurried off to. I am drawn to this photo as I find it has an earthy but homey appeal to me. I thought the sharpness of the image and the colors of the grouping worked harmoniously together.
