Connecting essay 4

I chose this image from the internet because of the use of depth of field. I like how the mushroom is in focus and as the back furthers out it becomes burlier. The reason I like it is because it is very simple and the mushroom is in the middle of the photo. Being able to see the middle/ bottom of the mushroom- suggesting it was taken from a low angle . The rule of thirds is key in this image because the mushroom is in the middle and it stops about a third from the top. 

This is an image I shot myself. I really like it because the mushroom is in focus and the background is really blurry. Yet the foreground is also a bit blurry as well. Another aspect of this photo which I like is how the mushroom is partly off center and that the rule of thirds apply. Another element in this photo which I like is the colour, it's simple- only showing green and white.

These two images connect because their subjects are both the same- mushroom. For some reason I really like photos like this. They are both really simple yet the green draws in the eye and then you see a mushroom. I also believe they both connect due to the simple depth created, with the subject of the mushroom in focus and the background blurry.
