I took this picture because I really liked all of the different representations from the gray scale. There is the different shades of white on the wall and the posters. There are also many different shades of gray. Then you also have the blacks in Maleficent. Essentially, I love the lack of color in this photo that was not even taken in black and white.
This photo has a huge contrast between black and white, the opposite ends of the gray scale. The white light and its rays stand out in harsh contrast to the black night. There are many different grays and whites around the light that fade into black, which I think is kind of neat. I am not completely happy with the quality of this photo, but it is interesting nonetheless!
I took this photo because I was fascinated by the detail in the tiles. Upon close inspection, there are little black dots scattered all throughout the tile. I thought this was rather beautiful. The lines in between the tiles (and the tiles themselves) have many different shades of gray. It is tonally diverse even though it looks so plain from a distance.
Josh your first image is really bold. The two dark shapes in the edges make my eyes go in to the middle of the photo. I also like how you cropped the image so you have the same amount of room at your edges of the frame to the respective images. Your second image is really high contrast on the gray scale. I think your exposure is sitting between the light on the post and the night sky - like the camera wasn't sure what to expose for. You would have more contrast if you exposed for the light in this image as your blacks would have been completely clipped and you would only be able to see a little bit of detail in the highlights. I also think the detail in the tiles is interesting and the lines created by both the shape of the tile and the interior of the design.
