Refined four photographs.

These four photos are the pictures that I
believe best convey the idea of good composistion. 

The first image displays a large depth field with many focal points within the image. By creating depth within the picture, it fabricates a story and adds character to the subjects within the scene. The form of this image is a 2d photograph. Many tones are explored throughout the piece with darker tone towards the top left corner, which conceals an object, highlighting the centre of the image and emphasising the focal point of the metal tin. Within the photograph there is a range of contrasting textures such as the moss on the wall, and the reflective surface of the inner tin. This piece strongly displays the compositional values of the rules of thirds, with many focal points crossing the points of intersection of the line of thirds, such as the different vertexes of the tin.
The second image displays the formal element of line due to the directions of the panels of wood in the bench. Due to them converging and the perpendicular nature of the slates it leads the eye into the subject. There is a large amount of depth created due to a vanishing point at the left of the image creating a path of view from the distance behind the photo to the subject, in this way the image is composed to follow the natural tendencies of following a picture left to right. The use of low aperture creates a crazed and blurred background while keeping the foreground sharp.
The third image portrays stage effect of time on both the subject and the background. Both objects within the piece are made of metal however they have contrasting textures, with the smooth surface of the tin and rusted texture of the old gate. With the combined use of low aperture and converging lines the tin is emphasized as it the sharpest point in the image. The piece is balanced due to many recurring shapes on opposite sides of the image. 
The last photograph shows the use of light and shadow. This emphasises the curved nature of the pot, showing the formal element of shape and form. This image isn't balanced but illustrates a surreal tone due to the distortion of the subject. The image has a central focus which emphasises the distortion due to the enlargement of the centre of the pot.
