Project 6: Save the Children-Printing Compositions

This was one of my ideas for the final print; however I did not use this idea as my final print because first of all, it did not look nice to me and secondly, the idea did not come through as well. Even though this was an initial idea, it was very blurry and unfocused because I had to take it in a manual mode due to the close-up.
This is the original copy of my first final print. When I was taking this picture, I tried to use depth of field with the two kids in focus and front, and the teacher and the wall out of focus. Even though the focus worked, the background seemed a bit messy. I also liked this picture, because the two kids are wearing bold colors which help them be in focus.
This is the original copy of my second final print. I used the same technique as the one above when taking this picture. However the problem with this photograph was that the viewer's focus was not on the kids but on the teacher in the back because she's in the center and because of her size. Even though she is not in focus, the viewers immediately look at her before looking at the kids.

This is the original copy of my third final print. I, again, used depth of field in this picture and it seemed interesting to me how there are three subject in this picture. The pencil and the teacher in the back are out of focus, while the boy is in focus. I did not have much problem with this photograph.

This is the original copy of my last final print. This was added the very last minute, and so I am not very fond of this picture. However it diverses from other pictures in that it is of older children and it shows the higher education. Again, I used depth of field.

This is my first final print. On Photoshop, I cropped the picture smaller to hide the messy background and made it brighter, to bring out the subjects.
This is my second final print. I had to edit a lot with this picture because of the problem that was already mentioned above. I first made this picture black and white and made my two subjects in color to bring them out. Then I blurred the background for more focus on the kids. Even though it kind of looks as if the kids were put in with Photoshop, it was the only way to make them focused.
This is my third final print. As I mentioned above, I did not have much problem with this picture and so, the only editing I made was the brightness. I also had to find out the name of this kid.

This is my last final print. As I mentioned above, it was last minute and so I did not have much time to think of what to edit. I cropped the picture on the right because it was a bit messy and made the girl in the front stand out by using the sharpen tool in Photoshop.
