Contrast, Balance, Harmony



Contextual Analysis:
This photo really spoke to me from a psychological standpoint. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, but to see something so small created an AHHH moment.  Typically I don't think of turtles as being so small except when they are babies and even then I think they would be larger than a raspberry.

Contrast: This photo does a good job showing many contrast.  The biggest is the size of the turtle compared to a raspberry. Then it uses color to make the raspberry pop out and the rest of the colors blend together. The texture of the rocks is pretty incredibleBased on the size of the raspberry and turtle, the rocks have to be pretty small, but every shape and dimension shows up creating a very rocky looking soil. The turtles shell and skin has rough and smooth looking texture and the claws look very sharp.

Harmony: The rule of thirds is in the color.  The raspberry being on the left of the frame and the only intense color.

Balance: The photo is asymmetrical because the raspberry and turtle are not centered in the photo.
