      My kids at school gave me an assignment: draw an octopus. I used it to teach composition. Successful? What would you say the focal point is? I want to know if I achieved what I wanted.

      Also stylistically I wanted a whimsical Graham Baese feel. IMG_20190130_141209_894.jpg

        Yes, I would read this story! I think this image is great -- the subject is cute and quirky, the composition is strong, the color looks good.

        As far as I can tell it looks like the eye is the focal point and the tentacles serve to lead your eyes around the composition. I could be wrong; the image is too big for my screen, so it's difficult to tell for sure.

          @chrisaakins looks great to me, but I am also a sucker for octopus and anything with tentacles LOL

            I would definitely read the story and curious to know what the octopus is up to :-)!

            I agree with @TwiggyT and also was seeing the eye as the focal point. Thanks for sharing.

              Looks good but the eyes look like boobs. Sorry just though I'd give you a heads up 😉

                @Jason-Bowen yeah you're not the first to point that out. Guess I should have looked at more octopus references. Oops.
