CONTRAST
Thimbleberry, Porcupine Mountains, Michigan, 2010 - Eleanor Rice
The white color of the single open flower contrasts with the overall green of the leaves and stems, and draws attention to the full cluster of blooms in different stages.
ISOLATION
Climbing Rose, Springfield, VT, 2010 - Eleanor Rice
The climbing rose is the main element of color in this picture. The blue door is isolated far to the right, but adds a second major color focus enlivening the dull brown of the house. Between the two is the small focus of yellow flowers, creating the full image of an early summer garden.
PLACEMENT
Toadstools, Porcupine Mountains, MI, 2011 - Eleanor Rice
This cluster of orange toadstools are placed with the middle one near the center of the picture. The middle one draws the eye, which can then travel from the smallest to the most mature toadstool in a radial line similar to the lines of two of the roots.
ONE ELEMENT
Travel Mug, Ferry Beach, ME, 2010 - Eleanor Rice
The travel mug is a large, obvious single element. The rock next to it provides some balance, and creates a conversation between human-created and the natural.
ABSENCE OF FOCAL POINT
Rock Surface, Canyonlands, UT, 1999 - Eleanor Rice
An overall pattern of sedimentary layers on a large stretch of surface rock.
