Title: Galaxy of Wood Tags: Wood, ball, atmosphere

This shot is ambiguous because it can be interpreted as something different. This photograph is actually a cropped shot of wooden balls that sit inside of a bowl on my dining room buffet table. I cropped this photograph very closely in order to distort the image. To me the wooden ball reminds me of a planet in outer space because of the fiery reddish orange background. This is why the title of the picture is called Wooden Galaxy.

The value of this assignment is that it teaches me to perceptually look at things differently. Simply cropping a picture can drastically change the compositional elements of the picture. I may see the picture as one way, while someone else may view it differently.
