In the first picture, the portrait is a cityscape of a skyscraper and the surrounding city life. This picture was taken by Anthony D Archer. This photographer used a different point of view, because it is looking down at the city as opposed to ground level how we normally view the city. The image also fills the frame because you cannot see the entire skyscraper. This shows us how huge a city really is and the contrast between the dark of the night and the lights of the buildings and streets shows us how night time is when the city comes to life. The lines of the light captured by the photographer draws your eye and keeps the picture interesting for the viewer.

The second picture taken by Kane Gledhill. In this landscape the photographer captured a beautiful picture that has great texture and contrast. the texture of the plants really adds to the nature aspect of the picture and the vivid contrast of the colors in the sky is a beautiful sunset that makes the mood a warm scenic moment. One of the great compositional techniques that was utilized was the level horizon. This serene picture provokes a mood of utter tranquility.

In the third picture taken by E van Leeson it is also a city scape. This picture utilizes great leading lines that keep the viewers eye moving throughout the piece quickly, as in a real city everything is also fast paced.The majority of the picture is monochromatic in blue tones, however there is an red accent from the boat in the background. These opposing colors on the color wheel create great contrast and balance. This picture is also rule of thirds because the building is off centered creating a more visually appealing piece that fills the frame.
