  • The photograph does not have a subject and focus, unlike usual photographs.
  • Describe the use of line, shape, Pattern, texture, tone and focus
  • Line: The photographer used the shadows to create lines in the photograph. The lines are at the top half of the photography, and the two sets of lines are in a 90 degree slant from each other, to create a feeling of space in the photography, and to tell the viewers that the wall behind it is perpendicular to the round object.
  • What do you think is the best thing about this photograph?
  • I think the best thing about this photograph is the patterns the shadows create. It creates a very harmonic feeling with the white and black background, as if the two are naturally made together.
