Emphasis and Focal Points

Contrast:

Amber Osgood, "Soul Searching"

This is an example of contrast between the colors of my eye and the surrounding black and white are an example of this. 

It is a change in color and is "often used to achieve emphasis by contrast." (pg. 59)

Isolation: 

Amber Osgood, " Pebble for Peace( and I stand alone)"

I think this is an example of isolation because the pebble stands alone, there is nothing else of its size that could compare. It is also isolated from the colors that are similar to the pebble. Its placement in the photograph and the horizontal blurs above and below the pebble, isolates itself from the rest of the image.

This is an example of contrast between the colors of my eye and the surrounding black and white are an example of this.

Placement:

Amber Osgood, "Dancing Ferns"

The ferns spiraling head is what is emphasized, It's placement is clear to the viewer and right up front. You can see that the images behind it are also ferns, but can see what the intent was. 

One Element:

Amber Osgood, "Power"

I chose this image "Power" for one element because the shoe is almost overbearing, you wouldn't notice the people running or buildings behind it at first glance.

In relation to Pierre Bonnard's image, "Coffee" where the dish is the focal point and everything else is noticed after. The shoe is emphasized because of the green spikes and colors. The only thing I wish I did differently, was make the adidas symbol larger.

This is an Image I found on cellar paper, by Yayoi Kusuama.

I think this is also an example of one element. everything around the woman is poke-a-dotted and her dress is patterned into a winding motion, also her hair contrasts with the yellow background.
