I completely agree with you about the “beast” photo. I was actually thinking about some of the things you mentioned when I was photographing for this assignment. I thought about which angle I should take the photo of the shrub for the “beast” photo, and I was contemplating on whether or not to use this one for the assignment because of how terrible I thought the photo is. I should have re-taken a few shots to get a better photo of the beast. Thank you very much for your input. 🙂
