I was careful not to put the rocks exactly in the middle of the picture. There is good perspective and contrast of how high the top of the cliff is to how low I was. There is more color in the top part which draws your eye to the center or top of the picture.
I like the color in this one and the green really stands out. There is pretty good detail with the water drops on the plant. I was trying to get even weighting on the top and bottom. I also used the rule of thirds and slightly off set the main subject to the right side. The contrast is beautiful.
I used the rule of thirds here to not get the fence or the tree in the middle of the picture. The fence adds a depth of field and also has leading lines. There is a little bit of repetition with the fence but it doesn’t continue all the way through the picture because of the depth of field.
This picture is really top heavy and there is a lot of negative space in the bottom. I was careful not to put the drop in the middle of the picture. I could have but I would have to be a lot closer. The light in the higher left corner makes the adds interest to the back ground and keeps it from being boring.
This picture looks a little confusing because of the canted angle and it has some nice hue. There is some interesting depth of field and contrast change between the trees and bushes close up and far away.
The grass in this picture has nice color and looks good when there are the darker trees around it. It looks like there are layers of the hill sliding down like a summertime avalanche which looks really neat. There is asymmetrical balance because the right part of the picture is heavier or more weighted than the left side.
This one is my favorite because the two trees that are close are really bright and all the other trees that are farther away are pretty dark and it really brings out the color. There is a lot of contrast in this picture.
In this picture the water looks a little like milk running down the rocks. The water draws the eye up to where the water comes down. I felt it appropriate to put the waterfall in the center of the frame instead of on one of the sides.
I felt it was appropriate to put the main object in the middle of the picture because it didn’t look that good if it wasn’t. There is a lot of change in color and contrast between the dandelion and the grass. They eye is drawn to the dandelion which makes it seem to pop out of the picture a little bit.
