Final Semester Exam Part 3

This picture is a perfect example of balancing elements because the moon and the olympic circles fall into place correctly as if the moon was suppose to be part of them. there are no leading lines in this picture which allows it to be brought out very astonishingly.

This is a picture that has simplicity in it making it only focus on the 7 cyclist that are riding there bikes and making the background black making it focus on there subjects more than anything.

This man was caught from different angle so view point has to be involve in the picture also simplicity because the man is by himself with no one else so all eyes most be on him and the plain background pops him out more as well.

Repetition is presented in this photo because of the grass everywhere from one side of the picture to the other, also view point because the subject seems like if she is far away also Framing sounds like if it was involved with this picture.
