Getting Unit 2 Submissions Ready

I got off to such an amazing start with this program, blasting through the first 4 units of material, and then I sort of hit a wall. I'm working my way slowly through Unit 5 at the moment, but I've still only submitted photo projects for Unit 1. That being said, here are some of the candidates for Unit 2 submissions. And yes, some of you have probably seen most of these pictures before, one way or another.

Photograph #1: Emphasizing the subject by its size and off-center placement.




Photograph #2
: Using framing to focus attention on your subject.



Project #3
: Using leading lines to draw attention to your subject.






I need to shoot a few more images, especially for project #2 (although I COULD use the first picture under project #3 as one of my framing photos,) but I am fairly happy with most of these pictures. Provided they print out well, I think they will make decent submissions.

Fellow NYIP students (and anyone else who would care to take a look,) please offer any helpful critiques, opinions, or ideas that you may have, as long as they're not overly negative or derogatory. Constructive criticism and feedback is welcome. Just remember, I am NOT a professional photographer (which should be fairly obvious by now!

Thanks, and I look forward to reading your comments.
