For the lab exercise I chose to photograph life and death in juxtaposition. The plant representing life and the goat skull representing death. During my process I played with my light source, my focal point, and the framing. During my process I realized the background was distracting from the subjects. I also tried to expose properly because the light source I was using was too warm and close for the shot I was looking for.
Beautiful. Adjusting the light improved the image dramatically.
