RHYTHM

Love this example of rhythm, as it is very soothing as your eye is drawn throughout the image, as if listening to music.

PROPORTION

The sense of proportion with the small child running through the high arches of the temple, creates a unique sense of proportion.

TENSION


Both of these images have varying degrees of tension occuring throughout them, from the intense reactions of the children to the electrifying chill of the first image.

RED-VIOLET: A women's sari expresses the romantic mood of this photograph.

VIOLET: The violet hue of the center and tips of the flowers, add a unique and visually appealing aspect to the whole of the image.


BLUE-VIOLET: The blue-violet tones of this dyed fabric give off a feeling of tranquility.

RED: The bold, bright red in this sari stands out amongst the other colors as it dominates the image.

RED-ORANGE: The bunch of flowers are a lovely illustration for red-orange, as you can see the hint of orange peering through the pedals.


ORANGE: I love the photograph of this elder women whom is wearing a vivid orange top.
YELLOW-ORANGE: You can see both the yellows and oranges fighting for dominance among the columns as the way the lighting hits, gives the opposite the chance to prevail.

YELLOW-GREEN: The leaves have an unique interplay in color ranging from darker to lighter Yellow-greens.

COLOR CONTRASTS

HUE: subtle hues create a relaxing feeling in this image.
VALUE: Also a very calming image, with little change in value across it through the light color palette.
TEMPERATURE: Great intensity in these colors creating the and interesting hot/cold interplay.
EXTENSION: As these are bangle surrounding a light fixture, they are creating a unique use for what otherwise would not look like these colors, making their originals appear far different.



SATURATION: The unique color combination along with the barbed wire, bricks, and burst of an intense blues showing varying degrees of color saturation.

TYPE

Taken of a median in Jaipur, when you take a closer look you'll notice unique intricacies, not clearly seen from afar.



The below image, caught my eye from the bus while driving into Agra, a unique and varying representation of various types scattered about chunks of walls.

A wall with what seems to be scribble, yet aesthetically pleasing none the less.
The aged look of this type contributes greatly to its beauty.

The bright in your face yellow carved type jumps out at you.

The type on the overhanging is yet again fading, as the Indian people seem to never re-paint anything.

The colors, and stubtleness of this wall immediately caught my eye along the road in Agra immediately across from the shop I bought my wall hangings in.

An eloquently written message appearing in Gandhi's handwriting at his shrine.

I found this in Gandhi's shrine also, it has a hand-made feel to it which I found visually pleasing.

Found on a wall, almost looks like a chalkboard.

The vivid blue jumps out at you, as this type could not go unnoticed agianst the subtle pink wall in Jaipur.
