Photo: Sun-Tree

Since the photo is at a slanted angle, it automatically attracts your attention. We see a backyard, hence the grass and line of trees, in which there are a bunch of tress in the background. There is also a house sitting behind the trees. It is a low angle, looking up at the trees and the sun. It makes us feel like we are sitting down or even lying down in your backyard and looking up at this sweet view. It's kind of a long shot, since most of the "action" (or the trees) are in the background of the photo. Since a lot of the picture is taken up with grass, you are drawn to the shadows in the grass made by the trees. It looks really cool. The light and shadow from the trees make a striped grassy backyard. The light shining through the trees looks really symbolic and inspiring. Like something's coming, or watching over us. I really like it!!

This picture is of a field leading up to a large white house hidden behind a row of trees and shrubs. The picture is taken form the ground. It has a high angle, which increases the hill. It also makes the house look farther away because there is a bigger contrast between the size of the grass and the size of the trees. The lines formed by the trees and their shadows serve as leading lines, starting at opposite corners and then converging at the house. The fact that the sunlight is coming from behind the house makes it look like the house is giving off the light. The slight tilt of the camera fits well with the picture because it divides the picture into triangles like the triangles formed by the shadows and the light and also the roof of the house.

The photo was taken at a high angle from the meadow towards the tree and the house. This allows the viewer to feel that he is standing in the grassy meadow looking up at the sunshine seeping through the gaps between the tree branches. Light and shadow plays a key role in the visual effects of this photo. THe light surrounding tree and the house makes them seem almost holy--as if something bright and angelic nearing the viewer who is visualized to be on the shadowed dark grass. The tilt that the photo is taken in is also a great creative twist to its composition as well.
