Photograph of a Bellbird: Maria Pribe
Composition of the Photograph

• The bellbird is placed on the branch with an excellent balance of lines and angles. The main branch line is echoed by having a blurred one in the background, which gives scale and some depth to the image. The bellbird is the right size in the image, big enough to view the details and not confined within the image frame. The appealing bird's eyes hold as well hold some visual weight too. Angling the bird in the other way would result in a less attractive and not balanced well enough because it is symmetrical. The combination of angles, lines, placing position, and scale have helped in the photograph.
• To make better photographs, I will consider utilizing the creativity of Depth of Field to balance the subject image against the soft ground, letting it be more prominent and have a strong vocal element. I will attempt to use negative space as it provides a calming balance (Dasgupta, 2019). In a photograph, there is no one single right approach to do it, but there are several available strategies of bettering it, and sometimes it calls for continuous trial. I will keep trying different ways of doing the photograph.
