Photojournalism brief 1 - Sick Man

My first brief I got from Photojournalism was called  "Sick man of europe" suggesting that Scotland is the unhealthiest place in Europe, we had to support or contradict it - I decided to support it. We had to submit 2 final images and here were mine:

The first is a pile of burgers from McDonalds, I love the depth of field in this image because it really makes you focus on the front burger whilst making the background look busy.

My second final image is of someone standing on scales that say "fat". I think this works because it's obvious the image is about weight/health and I think the two images support each other well.
