Lines-

 

 

I chose this picture because it has a lot of lines within it. The obvious one is the gate, however, because the wood is also going diagonal as well as straight, it creates even more lines. The road is also another form as lines and by is going to a slight curve at the end, it creates depth. Another is the wall behind the gate which continues just after the gate finishes, elongating and emphasising the length. Finally, the trees in the left hand top corner carries on the lines however, as they're going upwards it gives another perspective of the lines.

 

 

Another photo I used for lines is this one. I like the simplicity of this photo as it gives you nothing but the lines to focus on. Also, the blue background makes the black stand out even more, drawing your eye straight to the lines. Another point is, when you get to the top of the picture, there are more lines leading you outwards, making the viewer study every aspect of the photography. As the photo was shot looking up, it also gives us a sense of scale. 

 

Colour-

 

The reason I chose this picture is because of the vibrant and eye-catching colour. Magenta is a very hard colour to capture, especially within nature. The raindrops add to the picture, in a way that compliments the colour. The colour is so bright that it fills the raindrops. Another reason is the many layers, Its not just one or two petals that are the colour, its the full image so by doing this, it makes it more eye-catching.

 

 

This picture caught my eye because of the amount of detail and the vividness of the purple. It gives the effect that the purple are the flowers veins. I also like that non of the flower is actually white, its a very light lilac which compliments the brightness of the purple.

 

Shape-

 

 

The main reason why I decided to use this picture is because I didn't want all my pictures to include the obvious shapes such as squares, rectangles and circles. Although the main shape is an oval, it also includes circles; the eyeball, iris and pupil, even if you can't see it.

 

 

 The reason I chose this picture is similar to the about picture. Its obvious about one shape ( a circle ), however it has various circles within itself. The fact tat the main shape is also the main focus and the brightest colour helps the photograph highlight the main reason of the capture.

 

 

Texture-

 





 

This picture captured my eye because of the numerous type of textures. Of course, the main focus is the lady bug. Obviously smooth from the sunlight reflection on its body and face which would only be possible if the skin of the bug was hydrated, causing smoothness of it. Then, the leaf. A massive contract from the lady bug as its dull and life less. The leaf is dehydrated, making it a rough surface.

 

 

In comparison to the last photo, this one only has one key texture which is the grass. A lot like the lady bug, the grass is very hydrated, creating colour which emphasises the texture. Its smooth, so much so that it could almost slip through your fingers.
