I think your photo essay tells a story very well, I can definitely see the progression and think your sequence works well. I can fully understand what is going and I do think every image was essential for the story. I like your idea of having a silhouette for the first image and playing with shadow, I just wish your subject was a bit darker. I really love how you used a shallow DOF in the second image to make the subject and the flowers the focal point. It seems like you are using a lot of the techniques we learned this semester! I do wish the story elicited a little more emotion. It was a bit of a boring story in my opinion. However, there is beauty in everyday tasks and perhaps that is what you were going for. I think the second photo where you subject has a slight smile is the most interesting photo because you can understand the emotion behind the actions. Overall I think you did such a great job and really took a lot of tools we learned and put them into your photo essay!!
