1. I really like the fact that you’re trying to convey a feeling? Rather than the solid objects themselves. And texture and particular detail stands out when you get close to the object and use shallow depth of field. I would say sunlight is also Wabi Sabi. Good job!

  2. This is really neat – I love how you use the camera angle and sunlight to warp the sensation of depth and scale. It gives me the impression of standing next to a log in a forest glade, rather than just looking at a small arrangement of sticks.
