This photograph is sourced from the internet and it shows colour. The colours shown are quite bold and bright colours. There is also the presence of contrast in the sense that the shoes are darker where as the grass surrounding is much lighter. Throughout the photo, there is difference in light from the outside of the grass towards the centre. The edge of frame is much lighter becoming darker as it goes into the centre of the photo. The pair of shoes is also towards the right of the frame rather than being in the centre of the photograph which helps to focus on the grass just as much as the shoes.

This photo is one I photographed and it is also a pair of shoes on some grass. I think this photograph shows colour, texture and form. It shows colour because the shoes and the grass are quite bold and vibrant colours but the colours of the shoes and the grass are of the same colour just different shades. There is an element of texture which is coming from the grass because there are different types of plants making it up. Also there is form because around the shoes is darker than other ares within the photo. Also in this image, the pair of shoes is the central focus of the image as it is in the centre of the frame.

Both of these photographs are similar as they are both composed of grass and shoes. Each photograph shows colour, form and texture to some extent. The first photo uses two different colours where as the second photo uses the same colours but just different shades. The first photo has the shoes being towards the right of the frame and do not take as much of the frame up. In contrast, the latter photo has the shoes in the centre of the frame and they take much more of the frame up, because of this the main focus in the photo is the shoes where as in the first photo there is equal focus of the grass and the shows. I feel that the first photo shows colour well because of the use of the two different colours but I also feel that the photograph I took shows colour just as well because it focuses on the two different shades of the photograph.
