The first image subject is framed quite well, with light behind him that casts equal shadows. It’s nice composition because it shows that top is black and bottom is white. There is a nice contrast between the two. My eyes are immediately drawn to the figure standing, but also the shadows which look interesting. This is where I want the viewers eyes to go. Not really any distracting elements. Exposure is correct. Next time, I will try using a wider focal length to get more in the shot and make shadows longer. The background just shows a dark place and adds to the mystery. It is balanced well as it has two main colors –  black and white. In my opinion I think the color is ok. No depth of field needed. The storytelling is trying to show the person what are there emotions when they stay in dark or mysterious place. It looked mysterious and even creepy as the figure looked a bit scary.

The second image composition of this photo is not so good. It shows mostly black and white and light is shining to me so it doesn’t create a shadows. I am wearing dragon shirts and it doesn’t really match with what mood I’m trying to create. I would wear just black shirt next time. The shirt is a distracting element. The exposure is correct. I would want a more close up shots with a zoomed in length. The background is too dark and there is no contrast with the white. The photo is not balanced because it is mostly black with no shadows. The color is accurate, and depth of field is alright. It does not really show my vision well because of the shirt and the subject is not staring directly which makes it less mysterious. The light is also not shining properly.
