Composition

The task is to take photographs which demonstrate good compostion.  Compostion is the way the photograph is structured to make it interesting to the viewer and more pleasing to the eye.

This photograph was taken using a sty as a frame.  It also makes good use of the rule of thirds, the gate, the hillside and the sky, the tree is also about a third into the frame making the picture more pleasing than if it was in the center.

This picture shows great texture on the cows face,  I also decided to crop the picture quite a lot to make it more dramatic.  I think that using a low apature has made the picture more pleasing by focusing on the detail on the cows head.  I am really pleased with how this picture turned out because I had to get pretty close to get it.  I also think the cow grazing in the background is a nice touch.

I took this picture from a low view point and the idea was to make it look like the start of a journey.  Man and dog staring into the wilderness at the path ahead.  I wanted to just capture the legs and feet but this proved very difficult on a Yorkshire Terrier.  I think taking it from low down made the picture more dramatic than if it was taken from a mid height.

This image uses leading lines to draw the viewer into the picture.  The gate on the left and the light area on the right are showing use of the rule of thirds.  The pillars either side are framing the picture.  I really like the way the picture goes from dark to light as you go down the path and i think this adds to the effect.
