Exam Piece Five

Image Five

I decided not to Photoshop this image as I wanted at least one or more of my images to be original images without any editing involved.

Representation of relationship

The relationship this image portrays would be the relationship between nature and man, this is due to the fact that the plant, which you would usually see in a more natural place is now growing from places deemed impossible for them to grow, the fact that nature can grow in man made things and from man made things proves that nature is adapting to man and can now grow places that man have claimed and created.

Formal Elements

There are a range of formal elements in view in the image above, for example texture is a part in this image as if you look just before the plant as the wall that is just in focus you can see the texture of the wall. Another element would be form, this is due to you only being able to see the plant in this image. Colour also plays a big part in this image the same as my other images, this is because on the plant there are two different greens, also the green stands out on the red brick wall, there is also a hint of white in the back also some greenery from other plants nearby. I would say this image shows space this is due to the main subject being just to the right of the image, it looks almost as if it is just entering the image. 

Compositional Elements

The compositional elements in this image I would say a slight hint of rule of thirds in this image, this is due to the plant being to the right of the image. Another element would be viewpoint, this is due to the image being taken at a certain viewpoint to get the wall in the back and to get the plant that close, the depth of field of this image is a shallow depth as the only thing in focus is the plant growing from the wall. I feel that there is almost a leading line in this image, the leading line being the wall if you look at it from an angle.

Critique

I feel like even though the image is not Photoshopped as I wanted it to be a natural image, it could of benefited from it, but at the same time if I would of moved closer to the subject of the image, this would be just to avoid the wall before the plant and a little off the wall to make the leading line and rule of third stronger.
