Postcard 1

Kyle: "The microphone in this image feels like a very powerful object. The repeating background of microphone mesh almost reads like stadium seating with a very powerfully charged speech taking place. Along with the diagonal placement of the blurred background it gives a sense of energy and motion. The microphone seems to have a glowing line around it to even further its importance in the composition."

Tom: "The tight cropping gives emphasis on the microphone. Harsh lighting, the red colors and something shown of the facial expression give the sense of power and charged atmosphere. Using the cut paper technique only added to the sense of energy. I like how the lines and blurred out microphone mesh behind the mic helped you get that feeling of energy and motion. My intentions were to convey a feeling of angry preacher man thinking he is the only voice that matters. I think you got this but described it differently saying 'powerfully charged speech'. That kinda means the same thing to me so I think this worked."
