MISTER MOREHOUSE COLLEGE TALENT SHOWCASE

SCENE SETTER BEST SIMPLE BACKGROUND/SYMMETRY - This photo of Amir right before the music comes on right before the first dance. This half-symmetrical/half-simple background is a great introduction into the event.

SCENE SETTER WORST REPETITION OF SHAPE - I was trying to go for a repetition of shape/symmetry shot as they left the stage during the opening dance, but from the seat I was given it just ended up a little awkward.

ACTION BEST RULE OF THIRDS/SIMPLE BACKGROUND - This is a photo taken just after Jay P stepped out of his Timberlands and left that metaphorical life in the past. His body is along the left third line and well frames the image.

ACTION WORST RULE OF THIRDS/SIMPLE BACKGROUND - For some reason, I just really like this photo of Jayden Jarrett sitting on the stool atop the right third line. It's a photo of him rapping with the Tamborine in hand during his talent. But it is very dark and he can't be made out clearly.

REACTION BEST SIMPLE BACKGROUND - I don't know what the technical composition of this photo is, but I really like the excitement of these supporters of Keyshawn after he finished his talent showcase.

REACTION WORST RULE OF THIRDS - I was super close to Landon as he was yelling for Amir which made it difficult to focus, but his body is on the left third line and forms a decent visual across the photo.

DETAIL BEST RULE OF THIRDS - In his talent, Amir talked about the way that roller skating played a consistent father figure in his life, and I lucked up that this photo of him trying to capture the skates and they were on the horizontal third lines.

DETAIL WORST RULE OF THIRDS - I wanted to have the jeweled M on the intersection of the left and bottom third lines with the tie on the opposite intersection, but the photo turned out blurry and was awkwardly spaced.

CLOSER BEST LEADING LINES - The contestants formed a good leading line toward the curtain as they were waiting on the results of the talent showcase.

CLOSER WORST FRAMING - I thought there would be a bigger delineation between the stage and the crowd to capture the aftermath of the on-stage portrait, but it just ended up looking scattered and chaotic.
