APERTURE WORKSHOP

1/125 sec at f/5, ISO 400 (40mm)
Only the foreground object is sharp and focus. The first artwork that is in focus captures the viewer's attention as the background is blurred, which create one and only focal point. The blur goes well with the mood of the art. I think that this is the most effective picture because of that.

In this picture, the middle ground becomes more busy, but the first piece of art remains the main focal point. The art pieces start to look like as a whole instead of one individual in the first image.

Here, everything is sharp and focus so everything becomes a focal point. The viewer is pushed out of the image because of the orientation of the art pieces.

The subject looks more contrasting from the background. Nice "dreamy" effect. The subject is a little bit more out of context. 

In the second image, the subject is in context (school, in this case) and the background becomes a distraction.
