Hershey Beagle!


Holaz! I normally don't take a whole lot of photos, so it took me forever to find one that was half decent at least. The dog in this picture is my beagle, Hershey, and it was taken this summer. I believe that it's a great photograph (or snapshot) because there is good composition, the brightness and colorfulness of the photo is pretty awesome, most of the picture is used up as positive space, a great deal of line is embedded all over it, and her position gives it an almost "senior photo" look.

As for compostition, there aren't a lot of indivdual elements in the picture; there's Hershey, the grass, the granite rock, and a pot on the upper left. However, all of those things (minus the pot) have a great amount of detail. There are hundreds of blades of grass in the background, which displays an ample amount of line, the rock has different neutral colors and values and its shape is interesting, and Hershey is just cute as can be in this picture! Her coat, eyes, stance, and expression are a huge part of what makes this a good photo. As I mentioned, 'twas a summer day, and the light was clearly shining since we can see a glare off of Hershey's fur and the bright green of the grass is quite vivid. Also, there really isn't much negative space because Hershey takes up most of the photo, and there are detailed objects in every part of the picture, too. And again, many senior photos these days are taken leaning against a tree or standing next to some object of nature, and since dogs don't really tend to smile in pictures (or at all), her look still shows what a pretty little lady she is.
