Balance [Objects] {Week 6}

Continuing with our monthly theme, this week we sought to balance objects with the people in our frame. My image below has a fairly standard template for balance: lone figure balanced with lone object, in this case a lamppost. The fence carries the viewer's eye from the left side of the frame to the right, thus dividing the image in half while the dark contrast of the figure and the object give perpendicular grounding to it. Balance is of course more complicated the more objects you have within the photo, and components such as contrast, the brightness of an object, patterns and size all become important in achieving a good composition.

So let's see how the others choose to work with balance this week.
