Favorite Classmate Scanner Photos

So, in class we had to go through everyone's scanner photos and pick out our favorite 2...

This one is by Mary. I really like the background, its one of the main reasons I picked this one. The way that the blurring goes from darker to brighter really contrasts the black rose and makes the rose more powerful than it would have been if the background had been in focus.

The next one I picked was by Topher. I really like the simplicity of the eggs, minimal color and the composition that draws your eye from the top to the bottom, and then you notice the "cracked" one in the corner. Clever.
