The major elements in this photo are the two trees
on the right of the photo and the two vehicles right beside the trees. The
elements that stand out most are the vehicles because the sun is reflecting
off of them and into the camera. The very bright reflection off of the vehicles
is what catches your eye first. Then your eye wanders to the trees in the
foreground because that is what makes up most of the photo. Then you look
at the sun on the grass and all of the shadows. The placement of the various
elements in my picture makes it effective because it brings your eye right
to the subjects and then leads your eyes to all the other details.
The major picture elements in this photo are the five
shoes and toes that are visible. All the subjects are placed on a line around
the frame. Your eyes go to the elements that stick out lost, the white Adidas
flip-flop, the pink flip-flop and the white running shoe. This is because
they are light colors against a dark background that blends in with the two
other shoes that are black. Your vision travels first to the three lighter
colored shoes and then on to the two black shoes. The placement of the various
elements makes the photo effective because it is balanced, simple, and it
brings your attention to every subject, which is the goal of a photographer.
The major picture elements in this photo are the tall building, the flat building and the tree in front of the tall building. The elements that stand out the most are the tree and the flat building because there I such a strong difference in contrast between the two subjects and the rest of the photo. Your vision travels first to the tree, then down to the flat building, up to the tree and the tall building and back again. Once in a while your eyes will wander to the sky and the parking lot but then they will keep going back and forth between the three subjects. The placement of the various elements in my picture makes it effective because it captures and hold your attention on the subjects.
