Childhood Week Prompt: PACT. Which comp?

Heather Boyd

3 is really high, like way high but has nice perspective, I like 2 because of what other characters are doing too. I have a story; my best friend use to come to my cottage when I had one and we wore life jackets but we made that sort of promise, so I jumped and she didn't and she was like come out and do it again together and I was like okay, I did it again and she didn't and I was like I am staying in the water whether you are coming in or not. lols

TessaW

@Heather-Boyd Oh no she didn't! Betrayal! lol.

Oof, yeah I guess it does look really high. I'd need to fix that if I went with 3.

My favorite for composition and connection between the characters is three. Second favorite is 2. Buy I like that before the moment of action and connection in three.

Kristin Dudish

I LOVE the interaction between the characters in 3! (It does look like it might be a bit of a jump for such young characters though?) But, I think you've nailed the anticipation (and in-it-togetherness) with their body language... the slightly bent knees, the hand holding, the expression... Fantastic!

@TessaW i love 3

Neha Rawat

I love 3 and screams "pact". 2 is a fun image in general

Rachel Horne

@TessaW I like 3 but 2 works nicely aswell.

I love #3 - "the moment before" is always has a lot more tension to me. And it hit the prompt clearer.

TessaW

Thank you guys so much for your input! Here's a WIP of what I have so far. Is the setting clear? Does the height look appropriate? Do the figures look like they are relating to the perspective appropriately?

@TessaW yes, the height issue appears fine now. It’s looking great and the perspective looks good to me.

Frost Drive

Yeah I agree the perspective looks good now! Appropriate jump for children!!

Now all the picture is missing is, in the water you need a shark silhouette

TessaW

Yes! Thank you guys!

@Frost-Drive Lol! That would turn it into a bit of different story. The spot I based this off of had a shark sighting there once! Whoops. Nobody was jumping there for a bit.

#3 is very cool.
