Object in Different Positions in the Frame

 I took the same look of the rice farmer set in a large plain back ground from the course work for my subject for this exercise. Placing a ceramic fairy in the slightly overgrown grass in my garden I took a selection of photographs of the fairy in different positions in the frame. My first was central and small then concentrating on the viewfinder I was drawn to the object being on the right hand side.  

My preference in reverse order is as follows:

5.         The subject is to the left. This didn’t sit well in the frame for me as the fairy’s body is facing the left making the picture feel unbalanced. 

4.         Fairy in the centre of the frame and seems a bit small for my liking, although it does seem to show how small the statue is and says it is a photograph of a fairy in the grass.

.

3.         As number 4, the fairy is in the centre of the frame but this time a little larger taking away some of the element of scale. 

2.         This shot was better for me giving the sense of the fairy leaning over from the right into the never ending expanse of grass.

1.         The better shot in my opinion. The fairy is on the right but large enough to be a photography of the fairy not of the grass. I like the balance of the statue being contained with in a third of the photograph. I would have still liked to have taken another shot after looking at the results on screen or cropped this frame in Photoshop to have the fairy nearer the edge of the picture and large to fill the third of the frame whilst still being contained in the section.
