I moved beyond the subject matter by getting close to the objects in my image and taking the picture at different angles.
The photo that is the most captivating is the book page one, I do feel like the lighting conditions impacted the quality of the image. The image has a shadow which makes it more captivating.I would chose the flower image to do over because I would have liked to get closer and be able to capture the texture of the flower more than the pattern in the image.
