The telephone pole sets up the photo with good lining. The clouds have good composition and set up for a nice background.
I tried to get as close to the telephone pole as possible. Also I tried to get as high as possible so the main focus of the image would be the telephone pole. The sun was in the background of the phone so the lighting would focus on the telephone pole. The black and white set for a gloomy mood. I tried to show an interesting point of view because usual people look at telephone poles at eye height, but normally don't bend their neck and get a good look at a telephone pole. The little details of the wood in the telephone pole can attract the viewers attention.

When positioning myself I got as low as possible to the ground in order to get the shot. The unique positioning really sets the tone of the photo. We aren't use to seeing a playground from the ground up. There is a little law of thirds, between the wood chips, playground, and sky. The wood chips bring a lot of texture and detail. The playground sets up an interesting set of lines as well as everything that is going on in the background. The mood I was trying to set was a nostalgia fact of a childhood playground. The scale of the playground equipment plays an interesting role of the photo.

The lines of the school and the pillar are interesting elements present. The lines really set the photo compositional well. The pillar is an interesting view because it is unique as we normally don't look at pillars with our necks bending. The law of thirds are is present as the school and clouds collide together. The clouds sets the mood for the background of the image. The dark clouds kind of set an ominous mood in the background. The darkened black lines really stand out even in black and white. The unique positioning of looking at the pillar can really catch the eyes of the viewer.

The lines and details of the blocks are interesting. They are the main part of the photo and really standout. The law of thirds really standout with all the lines of the school and shapes of the school. The photo was taken right up against a rock so the foreground was a rock which also shows some depth of field. The lighting works well as the sun shines on the building, allowing to get a lot of details in the photo. I kept a little bit of distance when taking the shot to get a lot of details in the picture.

There is a lot of shapes, lines, colors, and textures going on in the picture. The branches create a lot of lines and shapes in the photo. There is a lot of different colors because of the leaves and branches. The texture of the leaf really pops out. I tried to get as close as possible to the leaf but also wanted to get a good depth of field with the main focus being the leaf in the background but the branches in the front being out of focus. I tried to get a different point of view when taking the photo. The main subject of the photo is the leaf but there is also a lot going on around the photo. The colors and different shapes brings a lot to the photo.

There is good shapes with the cups and the books. As well as the color of the book really stands out. I tried to get a good depth of field with the cup in the background. I added a cup in the front so I could use depth of field to have the camera focus on the back cup instead of the first cup. I also wanted to use the book so it could also be in focus. I tried to make the book stand out as much as possible. For the point of view I got as close as possible to the first cup but not too close in order to get a good shot of the cup in the background. The lighting in this photo is well because of the controlled environment. I tried to make the cup in the background as well as the book to stand out as much as possible.
