Wise Eyes

Today's assignment was to go out on the promenade, select a statue to shoot and take at least 10 photos using the elements of good composition. I chose to photograph Rosa Parks.

Of the ten pictures I took, this one is my favorite:

This photo encompasses the elements of balance and lines. I wanted the viewer to see the sincerity and wisdom that the artist was able to capture when creating this statue. The bridge of Ms. Parks nose and the rim of her glasses help your eye to be drawn to her eyes. The out of focus tree in the background helps to create a sense of balance.
