These are my photos of an old tricycle at my mom's house. They were taken around 11:30am on Sunday, 3/30/13. It was sunny and windy.

The "big picture" (my own words) so you can see my primary subject (the old tricycle) and the surroundings. I like the shadow.

Focus is on the seat. I like the line from the handlebars.

Focus is on the seat. The teacher wasn't fond of the giant, unfocused branch in the foreground. She did like the lines of the handlebar and the bars behind the seat.

Focus is on the seat. Good shadows and texture.
Overall, they were decent pictures with good use of the manual focus. My teacher liked the use of light and shadows, texture, and some of the lines of the bike and handlebars. She wasn't sold on the clutter of branches around the tricycle, but said it told the story of the old bike in the brush.
