Photograph Assignment

I chose this photo, because I thought it was a great example of the photo composition, framing. The arch way perfectly frames the giant building with a similar shape as the arch. This is a JPEG file and, so therefore the photo is lossy.

This photo is such a great example of simplicity. It is just a photo of a landscape with nothing really distracting the beauty of the picture. Also, it being black and white I feel like it makes it even more simplistic. This photo is also a JPEG, so it is a lossy photo.

This photo is pretty funny considering there are tree branches sticking out of the heads of two men in the photo. This is a bad example of subject background, because the branches are so distracting from the people in this picture. This photo is JPEG and it is lossy, because it is smaller and some of the quality was lossed in the process.

Examples of Balance

I choose this picture as an example of good balance, because it is horizontally symmetrical. This ad really catches your eye, because of the exact opposition of the hands, box, and vase.

I choose this advertisement as my example of bad balance, because the picture is so weighted on one side. The color, wording, and sidewalk are all emphasized on the left side and there is nothing on the right to balance the picture out.
