Frame Challenge #2

I wanted us to spend a little more time with the frames and with balance. As I was looking at the photographs coming in, I thought I would give you a little more time to explore the idea and add an additional challenge:

So you were responsible for submitting 2 photos by the end of class. One that simply gave you the opportunity to expand on the previous challenge:

Compose one photograph with the following-
-You have to be in it-
-You have to have a frame in it as well
-It will be taken in black and white
-It will have a clear emphasis
-You CANNOT be in the center

-You will work on creating balance

It will be titled and turned in: "Balance"

The second picture was a little more difficult because I wanted all the same things in it, EXCEPT, I wanted you to MAKE SURE, it was completely OFF BALANCE. For those of you who came to class, you saw as we critiqued that almost EVERYONE still innately balanced out their pictures, but a few students did get close, and some even succeeded in creating an "off balance shot"

For those of you still needing to turn this assignment in: title the one you think is off balance, "NO BALANCE" Good luck.

(Is this an example of a balanced picture or an unbalanced picture?)
