(1) Value contrast is when dark objects stand out agianst a light background, or light objects stand out agianst a dark background. this shows value contrast because the light objects stand out against the dark background. The vegetable is white and the backgrond is dark so the object is the focus.

(5)Framing is when a shape is put around a subject to create a frame. This shows framing becuase the arches create a frame around the landscape outside. Your eye is drawn to the view outside
because the arches set up a frame for it.

(4)Leading lines is when lines lead your eye to a certain point. They can be boundary lines or the illusion of lines, actual lines, ect. The lines in this picture are actual lines. This picture shows leading lines becuse the lines move your eye to a certain point. All lines come together and are leading to the same place. The bars on the side of this tower lead upward to the top of the tower.

(3)The rule of thirds means that a piece can be broken inot three equal parts both horizontally and vertically. This can create points of power becuase important objects can fall on intersections or along line os the grid. This shows the rule of third's points of power becuase when the picture is broken into thirds horizontally and vertically the tree is along a line and on the intersection of lines, so it is a point of power in this photograph.

(2)The rule of third's proportion means that the picture is two parts one thing and one part
another, so that picture is a two to one ratio. This photograph shows the rule of third's proportion because once it is broken into thirds horizontally, the water takes up one third and the sky takes up the other two thirds, so the picture becomes one part water and two parts sky.
Then when you break the photograph into thirds vertically, the statue of liberty takes up one third and the background takes up the other two thirds.
