what a "good" picture has.

This picture makes me feel warm and that I'm on my way to something calm, inviting and potentially beautiful. The composition of this picture is balanced from the wide end of the bridge to the open sky at the opposite end of the picture. The lighting is warm and glowing, coming from the east, giving the railing along the bridge a shadow. The lighting also makes he green in the Jungle pop. The use of texture is expressed mostly in the bridge, showing the rough texture of the floor boards, and smoother railings. the focus of the photo is the bridge and what it leads to. the background is the jungle and the house. this photo is about a warm walk on a bridge into the jungle, maybe to either go home or go for an adventure.
 * Depth**
 * creates a sense of depth **
 * draws the viewer into your photograph **
 * invites viewer to wonder what lies beyond what they can see **

Leads viewer around the photo encourage motion in the photograph the picture makes me feel lost. like i dono which track to take, because i don't know what either one leads to. its balanced because the two tracks compliment each other. the lighting is natural, coming from the sky instead of electricity. potentially an over cast sky, evening out the light throughout the whole photograph. the textures in it are all similar, from the rocks to the grass, to the bolts in the track. the focus is the train track. the background is the rocks and grass and what looks to be a building. the photo is about deciding which road to take, taking a risk and hoping it leads to something good.
 * Direction**

there is negative and positive balance, color balance, direction and motion balance Geometric Yin and yang this picture makes me feel centered, and organized. like im in an office or hotel. its balanced because the color contrast of a light background to dark furniture, plus the chairs are centered in the picture the lighting is bright and coming from the left hand side, possibly from a window. the textures are soft, and subtle the focus is the two dark chairs, because they stand out the most the background is the light wall paper its about the simplicity of art in the way you can arrange things to make them look good, and how it doesnt have to be complicated.
 * Balance**

Leads the eyes in and out of the picture gives direction and motion this pictures makes me feel calm, but cold. because of the coloring its balanced because the dark road contrasts with the light sky, and the shrubbery is on either side. there is natural lighting coming form the over cast sky the textures are all different, the road is dirty and rough looking where the lake is calm and smooth, and the textures of the shrubbery is rough and poky. the focus is most likely the road, considering it is what my eyes draw to. the white dash lines are a contrast to the dark pavement. the background is the bright sky and the nature far off in the distance the photo expresses how ugly we have made the earth, it used to all be lushes trees and lakes, now its concrete, shrubbery, and a cold looking lake.
 * Diagonales**

forces the eye to move around the image. this picture is very cheerful, summery and makes me want to go frolic in the grass! the balance in it comes from the light grass opposite the dark grass and the curve in the path is a balanced "s" there is natural lighting coming from the sun above. the texture is mostly prickly and bumpy from the path and the green grass looks soft. the focus is the path and the wonder of what it leads to. the background is the green grass and the fields. this photo is about the beauty and simplicity of color and shape in a natural setting.
 * Dynamic “S” Arrangement**

important elements can be framed in a triangle. keeps viewer in the picture exploring elements. this picture makes me feel like i am in a european country, sightseeing in the morning. the balance comes from the diagonal line straight through the center. that gives us the two triangles, which now balance each other. the lighting is natural,bright, and coming from the left. possibly morning sunlight. the texture can be found in the angels wings and in the detail of the building. the focus is of the angel, because it's highlighted from the sun and framed in one of the triangles. the background is of the clear sky, making it easy to see the main focus which is the angel. this photo is about showing peoples religion or culture, as well as their architecture.
 * The Triangle**

multi planes and depth levels strengthens impact it makes me feel like i would have a lot of walking to do if i had to herd all of those sheep, and from the dry landscape i would say it looks very hot, so i would maybe feel too hot and uncomfortable. i feel bad for the guys who have to herd the sheep. it is balanced because the sheep are evenly spread out through the picture and the blue sky contrasts with the dry grass and the mountains contrast with the sheep. there is natural lighting coming from behind/above. texture is found in the dry grass, and the soft sheep and the fluffy clouds. the focus is of the sheep and where they are going. the background is the mountains and the sky this photo is about the distance the sheep and sheep herders have to travel and what their destination is, and the conditions they must live through in order to get to their destination.
