Compositional Match Game

Image	E/P of Design	Rational
	Framing	The hole in the wood draws the eye to that specific area and frames up the area of the shot. (direct attention towards a subject using elements existing in the scene)
	pattern/repetition	Obviously, there are probably 100 of the little leaves that give off a certain feel because it keeps repeating and gradually spiraling in.
	Bird's eye view	This shot seems like it was taken from above the street looking down onto the subject.
	Rule of Thirds	The subject is right in the intersection point of the rule of thirds and draws you eye to the subject.
	Symmetrical Balance	If I cut this picture in half and it would literally be the same on both sides.
	Vertical Lines	The lines lead the eye up and down and meet in the middle to view the subject of the shot. (Grandness and spirituality)
	Diagonal Lines (unity)	The lines from the edges of the pencils lead the eye inward to the points of the pencils in the center of the photo. (all elements of a piece work together to produce a balanced, harmoniuous, complete whole)
	Simplicity	This is simplicity to me because its just a basic natural shot with trees and very naturalistic things that make the shot feel calm and tranquil.
	Leading Lines	The rail lines lead my eye inward and directly to the center and the main focus.
	Horizontal Lines	The rows of branches lead my eye from left to right and back like I'm reading a book. (represent an idea of calmness and tranquility)
	movement/rhythm	Since the water is caught in mid action and the girl is laughing, it makes the shot feel like it was caught mid- movement.
	Worm's eye view	I feel like since worms stay on the ground they would come up and see this since it's so low to the ground.
	texture	The ropes and how they overlap make the shot feel like I could reach out and feel the texture of the rope.
	curved lines	The curved lines lead your eye and make you follow along the curves off the edge. (comfort, safety, familiarity, relaxation)
	unity	Since it's black and white and the subjects are the same they give off a vibe of unity to me.
	Asymmetrical Balance	The basketball hoop is so small and on the complete opposite side you have a huge person coming in meeting in the center of the shot.
	Proportion/scale (Emphasis)	The little plant thing is so small in reality compared to the bricks, but in the photo it seems massive since the shot is so close to the subject. (elements in a piece that are given dominance or attract attention)
	Variety	There are a hundred different colors and shapes and things that make your eye want to travel around and look at everything in the shot. (differences in elements and principles of design that give interest to a composition)
	Emphasis (simplicity)	Since the egg is the only subject in the shot, and it has a deep contrasted shadow, it's the only thing that draws the eye in and puts a huge emphasis on the subject. (singling out an item from their surroundings)
	Horizon line	The tree is in the middle ground and the line in the back where the ground meets the sky just draws your eye back and gives me a sense of tranquility and softness.
