I believe this is my most successful image because the subject matter is highly intriguing. I captured this at Longwood Gardens, and the arrangement of the orchid pots closely relates to the potted plants in the inspiration photo by the photographer I aimed to emulate. Additionally, I transformed the image into black and white to align with the photographer's style, as their work was exclusively done in black and white. This image is particularly strong due to the high contrast in the subject matter. Even in black and white, the intricate details are clearly visible, which adds depth and texture to the composition.

The aspects of this photographer's work that I find most useful to inspire my future photographic work are his use of shadows and reflections to transform ordinary subjects into thought-provoking images. In past assignments, I struggled to find interesting subjects around me, but his approach has shown me that anything can become engaging by creatively using shadows and reflections. This perspective has broadened my ideas on what I can capture in my own photography.

I consider this to be my most successful image because of the deliberate layout of the objects in the frame and the strong contrast of colors. I also believe it's my strongest work due to the planning involved; I carefully staged and arranged everything, rather than capturing something naturally occurring, which is different from my usual approach.

I consider this to be my most successful image due to its crispness, the lighting, and the overall layout, which come together to make the composition engaging. Although I used the Bull's Eye approach, which can sometimes lead to less dynamic images, I believe the subject matter and composition here keep it interesting and visually appealing.
