First Project, second image

This is the second photo i chose for our first project of depth perception. Here, you can see my model, Jaida, looking down at a little caterpillar. The caterpillar is closer than the model, but it is out of focus so it appears a bit distant. I believe this work is figurative.
The composition of this artwork is confined and narrow. The shapes seen in this photo consist of little ovals, such as the caterpillar and almost rectangular form of the model. The image, similar to my first, is in and out of focus. You can see the model is partially in focus and out. the ground is also like this, while everything else, like the caterpillar is out of focus. This was not done intentionally, my photographs always turn out to be one big accident.
In this photo, I am trying to convey curiosity and childhood. Like simpler times, when a little bug used to make your day and you felt so curious and adventurous. The image turned out very light, but with a little added contrast, it balanced the photo between light and dark. and it was taken outdoors on the pavement.
I believe this work was successful because, to me, the message was conveyed fairly clearly and this is sort of how I pictured and desired the image to come out as. I like it, and really, thats all that matters I guess.
