Dots and Lines

I really like your style of composition here. Your are right in that most of the time, using shapes as well increases the clarity of the composition and makes it visually more similar to the original photo, but I feel that you managed to get the essence of those photos really well with just lines and dots. The reason why it was so clear was because you didn't just use the same style and color of lines and dots throughout the photo, but varied the style for each sub-component of the photo. This in effect made the overall image much more clear, as we are able to visually break down your re-compositions according to the variations in style.

Wow, I absolutely love what you've done! I particularly impressed with how you portrayed the leaves in your manmade structure composition, that was really clever and was a great representation of the original piece. I think you really achieved your goal, nice job!

Something that might have been helpful is to show what the original photograph was so we can provide better feedback although it is not necessary.

For your bodily form composition, I actually feel your first composition is mor successful, as you mentioned, having the softer lines in the second composition created a disconnect for me when looking at it and because they were curved, unsmoothed lines, it felt separated from the other components. I particularly liked how in the first composition, you used light tones around the face and dark tones in the clothing. It looked light the face was lit up and the clothes were in darkness. I'm curious if that was the case in the original photo.

For your man made composition, I really liked how you handled the branches in both compositions. However, I think there could be improvement in the way you handled the car. In the first composition, the lines aren't geometric and this quality in particular make it distinct from the rest of the branches rather than how you chose to compose the car with lines and dots. In the second composition, I also felt it was a bit literal to have the circles to represent the wheels because I wouldn't have been able to see that it was supposed to represent a car unless I had seen the wheels.

For your human emotion composition, I really liked how you handled the background of the piece, it seems like the person is radiating a good emotion and I thought it was well executed.
