My capturing kindness photos explores the concept in a slightly less generic way. Instead of picturing an elderly and young person doing some sort of activity together, I decided to show the kindness in a different way. This image shows kindness from people towards nature.

what worked:

I like how the flower is the center focus and how the hand is holding and caring for it. The flower’s colour stands out but also works with the background colours of dark green and browns. I think the image is overall reasonably creative since it isn’t the usual elderly and young, but it could’ve been improved. The fact that the flower is pictured being held next to the dead flowers can be interpreted as people protecting the earth as it is vulnerable and dying.

what could be improved:
I think there is quite a lot that can be improved. The flower would’ve been more aesthetic to look at and would’ve stood out more if there weren’t dead flowers beside it. It also isn’t very centered. You can see the shoes and uniform of the person holding the flower, which draws attention away from the main focus. It also would’ve been more aesthetic if there was a more neutral background (the person and ranges of colour takes away from the piece) and the flower stem was in the middle, not pointing to one side.

Lay out: The lay out of the image is okay. There is somewhat of a leading line/line of division that helps separate and create balance in the photo.

What I like: I like the theme and colours in the image. I also like the symmetry of the photo, with the same coffee cups, spoons e.c.t in the image.

Creative: It is quite creative because of the coffee beans design in the leading line. Creativity could’ve been improved by more colourful tea bags that don’t blend into the background as much. Glitter could also have been added to make the image more captivating.

Balance: The division line of the coffee beans creates a nice balance and symmetry in the image. The equal and identical coffee cups, spoons and tea bags e.c.t make the photo a bit pleasing to look at.

Colouring: I like the theme of the colouring with the shades of brown, whites and spots of silver. The colouring could be improved if I maybe took a risk with it and added some pops of colouring in things like the tea bags.

Overall improvements: Overall, the colouring, lighting and creativity could be improved to make the image more captivating and aesthetic.
