I think this picture is really tense. The sheep staring right at the viewer gives a really tense feeling. It makes the viewer feel almost like he/she is about to be trampled by sheep and should be looking at the picture. In terms of composition however, I think this picture is really strong. There seems to be various different clips on the ears of the sheep and they provide almost like s… Continue

I think this picture is one of the best examples of contrast I have ever seen. The bright yellow is really obvious against the black background and the green bud also really stands out against the yellow petals.

The Empire State in the middle and the main focus, the lights on the t… Continue

I think this picture is just amazing. The glass has an amazing shape. The drops of water definitely give the eyes a sense of motion. The shape of the glass is also critical. The sides are made up by oblique lines. Oblique lines give a sense of movement, helping with the water. The picture has great contrast. the Red and the white have great contrast. I also think the black border helps… Continue

I think this picture on Flikr is more than amazing. It has great harmony. The lights on the left move your eyes around the page well and the black post-thing on the right is a nice attraction for the eyes. The picture therefore, has great movement. I honestly also think the picture has nice balance. The dark colored post seems heavy and balances out the lighter building. I also like the fact that it is taken (or edited) in black and white. I think it makes the picture a lot more simpler and less… Continue
