When I took this photo, the main element I was focusing on was tone; in particular, the contrast of shadows and highlights on the form of the bike. I feel like the dark, bold lines of the bike also add to the diagonal movement of the piece, from the top left corner to the bottom right.
In this photograph, I was striving for unity in color but contrast in shape. The blue and green letters on the tree match the blue and green color of the fence. However, the geometric shape of the fence and window are in sharp contrast to the organic shapes of the tree and its leaves.
I wanted to create a photograph where space was the main principle depicted, and I tried to accomplish this by placing the subject matter in a corner. But I also wanted the photo to be balanced, so I included a portion of the fence post in the other corner.
The rectangular shapes, solid lines of the billboard, and textured surface of the grates work together to bring the viewer's eye through the photograph. I liked the color contrast of the cool blue sky and the warmer tan of the metal structure.
Probably contrast is the most important principle in this photo. On the blue surface, the lettering is black, but on the black cardboard surface the lettering is white.
