Texture was a large part of this photograph; mainly the texture of the tree bark. I intentionally blurred the branches in the foreground and the leaves in the background in order to emphasize the crisscrossing twigs in the middle ground.
Shape and contrast were important factors in this piece, for example, the shape of the wood paneling, the windows and the rectangular door frame. And I decided to employ contrast in order to add depth to the overall photograph.
Pattern and repetition played a large role in the composition of the photo. For instance, the pattern of the rocks and the weeds in the landscaping portion contrasted with the repetition of bricks in the wall of the science building. Because the foreground consists of an untextured concrete wall and the 'no parking' sign, it draws the viewer's eye toward it.
Line, shape, and color contrast were the fundamental elements of the photograph. Because I saturated the colors so much in photoshop, a distinct transition can be seen between the orange locker and the blue shadows in the final product. Both line and shape help create the illusion of three-dimensions.
Form and movement were two techniques I attempted to employ in the photograph; by including the repetition of the wooden planks I tried to create a path for the viewer's eye to follow through the photograph. Furthermore, I intentionally unsaturated the photograph in order to emphasize the pattern of the wood grain.
