Here are my two favorite photo's of my house plant. Both are close up photos of the same plant. In the first one I tried to concentrate on a single leaf, instead of the multiple leaves in photo two. The first is taken from above, and my carpet serves as a backdrop. I like the fact that my carpet also has similar leaves on it, I think it adds a bit of contrast to the picture.

In the second photo I tried to focus on a cluster of leaves from the side. While I still like this photo, I do not like it as much as the first one. If I were to retake these two, I would probably dust off the plant, so that all the leaves were shiny instead of dusty. The background shows part of my couch, as well as the carpet. I was not overly happy with the background. I believe it lacks the contrast the first picture does because of the lack of a single background.

Overall, I am happy with these photos, although the subject isn't terribly exciting. For my next group of photos I am going to experiment with lighting, and also focus on capturing a better background.
