I chose this photo because I liked the bird's eye view and the lighting. Seeing everything from above gave the calculator and the book extra detail. It also allows the viewer to see into the sewing kit.
I really like how there is selective focus in this photo where the foreground is slightly out of focus and the background is perfectly clear. I also like how it is a bit darker in the foreground and then the background of the writing it show in full light. It puts all of the other objects as less important than the writing which is pretty interesting.
