8. • These images are all edited into Black and White
and have leading lines, rules of thirds as well as
the golden ratio.
• Image 5 : I used the power of thirds, this was
made clear because I used the metal fence to
break up the image into 3. This is one of my best
images because of the detail and power of 3rds.
• Image 2 : This image uses the Golden Ratio and
enhances black and white making it a very strong
and sharp image.
