Exercise sixteen: The relationship between points

A single point depicts simplicity, yet that is lost once a second point is introduced to the frame.  The brief for this exercise was to capture 3 images containing 2 points. 

50mm, 1/160 secs, f/1.8, ISO 400

The dominant point is clearly the coffee mug for several reasons regardless of their similarity in size: the narrow depth of field renders tithe only thing in focus; it's brighter than anything else in the frame, and it conveys a message which compels the viewer to read.

50mm, 1/60 secs, f/1.8, ISO 800

You may have noticed the current obsession with my 50mm lens. Similar to the first shot, only one of the points in this image is in focus, yet the other child's shoe creates dynamic tension as it competes for the viewers attention because of it's irregular, more interesting position. The entire scene gives a sense of missing out on the fun that's happening elsewhere.
