Hercilia Lopes- Precious Portrait

This image by Hercilia Lopes struck me because of the different textures that are explored in this image. I really enjoy the use of materials in the background of this image. The contrast between the metals and material is also very appealing and is an interesting dynamic. I would like to explore using material and other objects for my project. 

Christian Staebler- Elements from July

This image is very interesting to me because of the different layering of plants and mice. I really like how though it is a flat image, the image has a sense of depth. It reminds me of a little forest scene with mice running through the roughage. I would like to implement some plants in my scans, and I would love for them to look like they have so much life in them even though they were taken out of Staebler's garden.

Robert Fleming- Forest Light

I really enjoy the depth of this image as well. Fleming digitally paints his backgrounds to make it atmospheric, and all of the other components are scanned in. I think it could be interesting to see if i an achieve the same type of background by scanning a painted background, rather than digitally painting it. I like how this image looks like you are apart of this natural scene, looking up into the sky surrounded by plants and mushrooms. I think I would like to incorporate a composition that gives a similar feeling as this one does.
