Week 2: One Object, Many Views - Compare and Contrast

The pictures I have chosen to compare and contrast are very different shots. The first one is a very close up image with a lot of detail, and the second one has the subject rather small within the frame. The perspective changes the photograph entirely. The first photo was taken within six inches of the subject, while the second one from about one hundred yards away. The first one gives a much more intimate view of the bike, really showing us some of the internal components. The second one's perspective is entirely different. It allows the viewer to see the entire subject from a far away viewpoint and gives a contrast of colors. I personally like the second picture better because it has a great contrast that really makes the bike stand out against the sky blue background. All around, I prefer the general feel of the second picture because of the framing (with the bike off to the left side) and the colors of the photograph.
