These photos are detailed nature shots created to emphasize the element of texture. They also utilize the elements of color, emphasis and balance through the Rule of Thirds and contrasting subjects and backgrounds.
This image has balance because of the asymmetry of the cliff and the trees. The Rule of Thirds is also used because of the trees on the line intersection and the convergance of the two halves of the image. Bright colors are also used to emphasize the textures of the cliff and trees.
This is a photo of a character from an Asian language. It is more obviously a smiley face, but the element of looking at something in two ways is still present.
These images are part of a photo essay documenting accidental faces I saw in my home, at school, and in other places. They are close ups, and they are related in theme. Balance is used in most of the images because of the symmetry or asymmetry of the faces. Also, shape is used to distinguish the parts of the images that make up the faces.
This is a photo of wooden bars blocking a confessional booth-turned-storage room. The shadows promote emphasis and the repetition of the bars shows line and pattern. Overall, this image is an abstract close-up of architecture. It shows the details of the woodwork and promotes the beauty of the chapel.
