In Todays Photo of the Week on The Daily Critique Craig looks at a wonderful environmental portrait from The Mindful Eye Communitys Smile Assignment and discusses the following points:

• the power of juxtaposition as a storytelling device
•breaks in formal symmetry that can create tension and lead to a more dynamic image
•the potential emotional and psychological effects of working in black and white
•the importance of quality of light and the effectiveness of the extremely dimensional and atmospheric quality of light in this portrait
•the creative power of photographing what is available to us most of the time
•leaving parts or a key part of the story to the viewers imagination.
