__Artist:__ Karen Chappell __Title:__ Rope Texture __Date Taken:__ 11/26/2004 __Web address:__ http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGallDetail.asp?photoID=628083&catID=386&contestCatID=&rowNumber=2&camID=

The picture I have chosen by Karen Chappell represents texture because a rope is rough and since i know how a rope feels its as though you could touch it. The object has texture that is shown in the photograph. The detail of the rope also adds on texture to the image. It is stated in the title that this is rope texture which also implies that this photograph has texture.

Line:
__Artist:__ Mienny __Title:__ Highway at Night __Web Address:__ [|108220450.jpg]

The photograph that I have chosen by Mienny shows line from the cars on the highway. When a car passes by, the lights connect if there is a slow shutter speed like in this photo. It looks as though there is no end to the line which is made by the lights in the car. I really like this photograph since it has two different colors on each side of the highway. The left side is cars coming towards the camera and the right side are cars going away from the camera based on the head and tail lights.

Value:
__Artist:__ Ansel Adams __Title:__ Black and White Photography __Date Taken:__ 2/3/2010 __Web Address:__ http://photographycourse.net/black-and-white-photography

This picture by Ansel Adams represents the element value. This picture has various different shades of black which show contrast and texture on the mountain. There is value between the mountain and the background since the background is darker then the mountain. Many value pictures are black and white to show distinction between the main piece in the picture and the background.

Shape:
__Artist:__ Hiroshi Watanabe __Title:__ World map made out of raindrops falling on water, close-up __Web Address:__ http://cache2.asset-cache.net/xc/sb10068553a-001.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=F1683185B4CC78091198AAF83EEF9DF41C8B733DE2CC9794F6FD624314012FBAD4B40B3E875A785D

The world map made out of raindrops shows shape because of the circles the continents are made out of. A circle is considered a shape just like what the raindrops make when they hit the water. This photograph is very interesting from the way it was made with the raindrops falling.I like the variation between the raindrops and the water underneath with the different shades of blue.

=Form:= __Artist:__ Erik Dreyer __Title:__ Ice Block __Web Address:__ http://cache2.asset-cache.net/xc/107710952.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=F5B5107058D53DF5AE1D753F352B50883A8A57534E4512EFE134465DF2F450C5 This image represents form because of the 3D factor that it has. The way the cube is shaped also shows its form. The cube wasn't photographed right from the front but rather on the side making it more dimensional and interesting. It shows how the cube is shaped and the many sides that it has.

=**Color:**= __Artist:__ Stuart Westmorland __Title:__ Rainbow Over Lava Flow, Kilauea, Hawaii __Web Address:__[|10184362.jpg]

This image by Stuart Westmorland shows color because it is a rainbow with many colors blending from red to purple. The colors are soft and work good together. Overall, the image has many colors not just one but they are soft and not very vibrant.

=**Space:**= __Artist:__ Arne Pastoor __Title:__ Rural road in spring lined with beech trees __Web Address:__[|100456634.jpg] This image represents space because it grows from big trees to smaller trees which makes the effect that there are a lot of trees. The space of the photo is filled up with trees everywhere you look and its very green which also adds to the effect. The photographer used space well to make this picture work.
