p.1 #1 · Help with Geometry Theme


I like the boat picture best, but I can't decide if it expresses the "Geometry" theme well enough.

Any help or critiques greatly appreciated!

p.1 #2 · Help with Geometry Theme


For the geometry theme, I like 2nd best.

Last one has geometry but the non squared framing detracts from me ( I would level the bottom board. And the texture is not as good as 2 for focus on geometry.

1st one is good but does not evoke geometry for me. The point should be pointing to the corner not off corner to be more geometric. The people on board detract from geometry for me.

2 is best but I wonder if a tighter crop might improve relative to the factory showing through on left. But good shot as is.

I'd go with 2. But I think you should rotate the image slightly to the right and crop from the bottom to eliminate the area below the beam on the right.
First would have potential with a tighter crop. eliminating the people and reducting the water. Then I'd convert to very high contrast BW to reduce distracton from color elements.
3rd plays with the geometry better than the first. I would crop and rotate to maximize symmetry.

Yeah, I think it was a no contest with #2 being it.
