Birthday Celebrations

Don’t get the wrong idea, but I just thought that these two pictures of a friend and her birthday cake were quite nice.

It’s interesting how a conventionally ‘bad’ photograph can actually be a good one and recently it’s just intriguing the extent to which everything can be turned on its head. It’s a rather subjective opinion I suppose, but nevertheless, there are some things that think most people would agree don’t abide by normal rules and composition but yet do look nice. Not that you would necessarily agree, but for the first shot the cake was supposed to be the subject but is overexposed. As a result, your attention is drawn to the second subject which is the birthday girl, but she is out of focus. Yet, somehow it just makes a nice shot.

Or not.

In the end it’s all subject to interpretation of course, but for the moment I’ll just rest with the maybe deluded impression that the first shot is quite nice. If not, the second picture is slightly more conventional and hopefully will bring a more positive reaction. Beauty, like all things, is in the eye of the beholder.
