Water and Lighting

           The high level of lighting in this picture, contrast, and the angle that this photo was taken from make it effective. 

         I really like the ripples in the water, it provides the photo with texture as well as depth. The picture also uses the composition techniques of symmetry and balance.

        This picture is effective because the bowl of water with the pebble in it demonstrates the rule of thirds and simplicity.  I also think that the angle that the picture was taken form adds to the picture.

           This picture is effective because it uses the rule of thirds and simplicity. I also really like the fact that the pebble is hanging in the air, just about to land in the bowl of water, and the circular ripple looking things in the water, that are not ripples, but the reflection of the water in the glass. 

          I think that this picture is effective because of the lighting and contrast between the light bowl and dark pebble. I also like the fact that the pebble is hanging in the air, about to land in the water. The pebble is blurred, whereas the bowl is in focus, which enhances the picture.
