Emphasis

The  black of the background contrasts deeply with the bright,
naturally saturated red of the cake batter, so that the batter pops out. This 
shows emphasis on the beater, not only because it is the brightest thing in 
the photo, but also because also it is very large and takes up most of the
frame.

Radial Balance

This picture displays radial balance, because it not only has the three main
lightbulbs, but it also has all the delicate inner rings in each light. It kinda 
looks like Saturn. This is unrelated, but it also shows depth of field, because 
the light on the left is focused and sharp, while the one on the right is blurry
and out of focus. But all the round edges do make it qualify for radial balance.

Symmetrical Balance

This is actually one of my favorite photos, because of how high the definition is, 
and how the black in the background contrasts intensely with the batter, lips,
and the color of her skin. It shows symmetry because you could cut the photo in
half, and it would match up. The beater fills nearly both edges, but the main
symmetrical feature is her face. The moles are the one thing which are not symmet-
rical, but i didn't want to edit them out, because i think they are exotic despite
Madi's protests, and add interest to the photo.

Asymetrical Balance




This shows asymmetrical balance because it is not symmetrical. The buildings are
placed at random intervals, and the raindrops aren't balanced so it does not
display symmetry, making it asymmetrical.
