Title: Blessing

Technical comments:

This is a picture in weak light. The spotlight is used as the main light source, the background is blurred by controlling the depth of field with a large aperture, and the ambient light is dimmed by a high shutter, which highlights the high appeal of the spotlight as a light source. The composition adopts the traditional three-point composition method. Figures and candles are located on both sides of the center of the picture. Divide the picture into three parts. There is a blank on the far right of the picture, which gives a visual extension. Some objects are left behind the picture, which increases the depth of the picture. Highlight the characteristics of the scene. The close-up of the bust was chosen for framing and composition. It is intended to highlight the facial expressions and costumes of the characters.

Analysis of works:

This should be a photo of ethnic minorities praying for disaster relief. The candle shimmered on the face. The woman in the photo is dressed formally and has a serious expression. Eyes slightly open, sad and absent-minded, slowly staring at the candle in his hand, as if still immersed in the scene at that time. This photo was taken at the right time. The expressions and actions of the characters are good, and the light is good. The author uses the head-up angle to improve the affinity of the photos, which corresponds to the theme. The picture processing and arrangement involved in composition are very fine. At the same time, the author uses his own understanding of light and shadow to subtly darken some things that distract the audience and highlight the main body. At the same time, the author's genius lies in fully mobilizing various factors, carefully composing, leaving some objects behind the picture, increasing the depth of the picture and highlighting the scene characteristics. The overall color of the picture is dark, but the yellow light source of the candle illuminates the picture. Rendering the artistic conception of the picture is like a warm lamp in the dark. It means that no matter how big the disaster is, the sunshine depends on it. Encourage people who have suffered disasters not to give up hope.

Insufficient (personal opinion):

1. The light is complex, and the ambient light of the right shoulder, eyes, eyebrows and head of the figure is prominent, which weakens the characteristics of choosing scene light (candle) as the light source. At the same time, it also distracted the attention of appreciation.

2. Out of focus. In this picture, even the clearest place, the whole picture is a little blurred.

2. The characters' eyes are not prominent enough. Eyes are the windows of the soul, especially the subject of blessing.

Pure hands, personal opinion. Hope to adopt. Thank you.
