Exercise: A small single figure.

Outline: Take a photograph where a small figure is not the main focus but not completely overlooked. 

The notes are right on this one, this is not an easy exercise to undertake and I have failed any attempts that I have tried.

My best attempt was the following image, take while undertaking shots for assignment 4;

Single figures on Porthcawl Pier - 2012
The pier is obviously the main focus of this image and the eyes drift to the striking view in the background as well. These factors give the viewer enough opportunity to stop and examine the image and then spot the couple sat on the pier.

Conclusion: I really like this shot so I'm glad that I got to use it, even though it wasn't taken intentionally for this exercise. It's good to see how an image needs to sometimes be explored before you can really appreciate the beauty of it.
