Important notes:
- Contrast in tone between the two halves; utilization of a vertical line in the middle.
- Focus on the square in the upper left corner; other parts of the image are “background”.
- Utilization of pattern to create abstraction; I added a point of focus to this otherwise more flat photo.
- Contrast in tone between each pair of adjacent horizontal lines; I enhanced the feeling of texture by capturing this on a carpet.
- Utilization of two prominent vertical lines to structure the photograph; I chose two more obscure lines when structuring this image, but the effect of balancing the composition is the same.
- Single point of focus in the middle; contrast in tone of the focus point and the rest of the picture.
- Utilization of straight horizontal/vertical lines to separate the image into various sections; I added a component of lighting/tone to make it more interesting.
- Contrast in tone of “holes” and the background; utilization of a pattern for abstraction.
- Utilization of straight horizontal/vertical lines to create a grid in the image; three other components are present in my photograph: the diagonal streaks of light; the white dot of light in the upper right corner; the gray object in the lower right corner.
- Utilization of a trapezoid-like slab to create structure; is more obscure in my photograph because it is used more as an underlying compositional feature than a focus point.
- Utilization of a trapezoid to create a sense of distance, progression, and structure; I used the ceiling to project this, and the image has been flipped upside down to add complexity and better fit the prompt.
- Contrast in tone of various horizontal streaks; I chose a vertical composition instead because I felt that it better depicted the specific scene, and enhanced a feeling of liquid flowing from the top to the bottom.
