The Three elements displayed in this picture are very easy to distinguish, they are, a football, sun rays, and a Gatorade bottle. There is a dominate positive area to the right side, and a subordinate positive area on the left hand side of the image. With a dominate negative area falling through the center of the picture.
The reason I choose the football was I played football all throughout high school. Naturally it was a big part of my life. I placed the footballs in dynamic positions, even placing a smaller positive shaped football inside a bigger negative shaped football. Also, displaying the laces of the football in both a positive and negative way, at the top right hand corner of the image.
The second element I choose was the sun rays. I used that shape because I lived in California for seven years. Ever since then I have loved California and always go back as much as I can. I used the sun rays in both positive and negatives shapes, all throughout the picture. One is also juxtaposed with a football on the right hand side of the image.
The third and final element displayed in this image is a Gatorade bottle. I decided to use that object because I don’t drink soda. There for, Gatorade is one of my drinks of choice. I dynamically placed the bottles throughout the picture, one moderately sized bottle spilling liquid from the left hand corner to the right. The liquid is expanding as if it were coming towards you. Within the fluid there are two Gatorade bottles juxtaposed with in the liquid. One appears to be spilling more liquid, while the other one is an outline of the bottle.
Over all it is a decently composed image, all the elements are placed dynamically. Thus, creating an interesting image that easily catches your eye and holds your attention.

In this picture there is a lot going on. The artist does a good job of using unity with the two red faces. Also if you look at the two red faces long enough you will begin to notice that the two faces form a shape of a chalice in the background. The girl at the top of the image gives this picture a very elegant almost sleepy look to it. The soft features in her face, the red lingerie and the lacy black dress are what give it this feeling. Also the smoky like texture used on the background, and the grouping of the pictures contribute to this feeling greatly. The three main figures have sort of a triangular positioning, and then which draws your eye in to see the blue chalice. The blue chalice in the background really contains your eye and keeps it from flowing right off the page.

The artist in this piece does a nice job of using the gray scale throughout the picture. They also do a good job of using perspective, the buildings are positioned in a way that make them appear to be towering over the plane. The way that the plane is positioned is very dynamic, also the line definition in the plane is very intricate and gives the plane an old, kind of moldy look to it. The way the clouds are created with the gray scale makes them seem so much more real, as if I were to actually be looking at the night sky. The clouds are also in a spiral pattern and gives them a swirly appearance. Which create a focal point in the center and that is the bright white moon that you see. Oval this is awesome picture I really like it, it reminds me of the matrix and how things are in the “Real World”.
