Farewell Aperture, Hello Shutter Speed!

So we have really nailed down the concept of aperture.  Our artists understand how to choose the best aperture in creating a photograph.  Here, photographer W. has used a very small aperture to retain detail throughout the image:
 And here, photographer W. used a very large aperture to keep the foreground leaves in focus and let the rest of the photograph "fall off" detail:


Good job W!  I am so appreciating watching how these photographers are developing their own eye for composition.  The top photo is all W.  I would never have chosen to frame the building that way.  My eye just can't see negative space that way.  So W., you have taught me something!  Thank you!
