4. Macro

These are the three macro images concerning the rule of thirds. They all contain a focal point to which the viewer’s eyes are drawn.
The first image is my favourite, because the more I look at it the more I start to see a female figure appear - the top left breast, the mid section with the belly button and the curvaceous green thighs. It has so many interesting elements, but I think I am almost immediately drawn towards the 'belly button' each time. The contrast in the colours are at their greatest here, with the red leafy spikes acting as a frame and accentuating the area.
 The second image emphasises the rule of thirds the most. Each segment of the image is sliced by a gradual focus, leading down to the bottom right corner. At this point the image is clear and sharp, and the audience can recognise the object.
The third image contains more activity in the lower half, but because the two sticks are pointing in opposite directions the image feels whole. Not my choice, but a good example of lines highlighting areas and creating focuses.
