Picture 1- This is a landscape picture. I think the artist is trying to portray a sort of creepy feeling because of the haunted look to it. The black and white really enhance the dark feeling you feel when you look at this photograph. The artist of this picture is Paul Politis and it was shot in Brudenell, Ontario. Paul had used leading lines in as his compositional technique. The cracks in the road lead your eye into the main point which is the scary hotel in the middle of the picture. Paul had also used framing by having trees surround the hotel, along with the paved road. The title for this picture is Costello Hotel and is also known as the "sin bin". []

Picture 2- This is a cityscape picture. I think the artist is trying to portray a sort of surreal sort of feeling because of how the bike rider seems to look like a ghost and everything else is in bright intense colors. The artist of this picture wasn't specifically named but it brought me on to flickr and said her name on their is atomicpuppy68. The artist used leading lines from the path to bring the eye into the bridge which is the main focus for a cityscape. Also, color was used in order to pop out specific parts of the photograph that create it a masterpiece. There was no title on the site that had this picture. @http://weburbanist.com/2008/09/21/24-stunning-hdr-photographs-of-abandoned-places/

Picture 3- This is an interior-scape picture. I think the artist is trying to portray a haunted feeling within yourself because the photograph looks like it could be a scene from a horror movie. The peeling off of the door and dark hallway create the illusion of a really scary place to be. The artist of this picture is Shaun O'Boyle. Shaun used rule of thirds with this photograph. He has the open door on the right, the middle door down the hall in the middle and the left wall on the left side. Also, the leading lines from the light shining in from the doors create different places for the eye to look around. This was taken inside an old hospital but wasn't given a title. []
