10. Viewpoint This picture is taken from an interesting angle.

11. Symmetry The two windows are symmetrical.

12. Depth The tree in the foreground gives the picture a sense of depth.

14. Horizon (two thirds) The ground only takes up one third of the picture and the sky and trees fill the other two thirds.

15. Choice I thought this was a cool picture because the pillars give the picture depth and act as lines as well.

16. Questions Describe how your eye as a photographer has changed from the beginning of the course until now. I’m better at looking for proper composition in photos now, when I couldn’t before. Describe how learning about the rules of composition has helped develop your photography skills. The rules are very important to keep in mind when taking a picture. I now realize the importance of not centering a subject, as well as using unusual angles. Of the composition rules, which has been most influential on your photography? Explain and describe an example. I think the most influential has been using unusual viewpoints.
