Picture 1: This picture captures an image of an outdoor patio. This particular picture displays one of the 7 principles of design, repetition. As you can see, there is the same shape, color and lines within it. However, I do not feel that this picture has good composition based on its lack of other principles. There is no variety or dominance. Nothing in the picture truly makes your eye focus on a particular area. Your eye may move around the picture due to the movement of the stones, but there is no unity of all of the elements and principles.
Picture 2: This abstract picture is the siding of a house. This would be an example of bad composition, because there is very little principles of design present. Nothing in this picture is moving and it lacks variety.
Picture 3: I believe that this picture displays good composition because of its unity and many other principles of design. For example, the picture has movement off of the page through the ladders. It can go up, and it can go to the left. Also, this picture displays asymmetrical balance. There are many different colors and shapes, giving the picture much variety. In addition, the ladders take over the area the picture is contained in. Finally, there are many shapes, lines, textures and color.
Picure 4: This is another example of good composition. The telephone pole is the dominating image, however it is not directly in the center, allowing your eye to move all around the photograph. The patterns of the telephone lines give the photo repetition, while the multicolored sky and different houses give the photo variety. The proportion or scale of the photo make the houses smaller than the rest of the picture.
