Elements of Design

Discussion

Perspective creates a strong composition in this photo. The picture was taken at eye level with the rake, not above the rake, because that would show flat lines. The leaves create a sense that the rake is in motion because the perspective is on where the rake is placed. The first line of the rake is thicker and then as you look at the very back piece of the rake it is very thin. That perspective makes the picture detailed because there are diagonal lines and the object is captured so that there isn’t just something sitting in the middle of the picture.  The depth and lines in the perspective make this composition strong because the angle allows the eye to see all those elements.

I like how this picture is a close up shot of rake. The colors are also very vivid, while the background is slightly blurred. Nicely done.

Great Photo

This is a really good photo. Nice job of getting below the rake and kind of creating the effect that it is a larger object. Also taking it from the angle is a great perspectie that you created for the viewer to look at.

Nice Pic.
