Despite being fairly simple and straightforward, I think this photo is very visually appealing. The strong diagonals of the railings and wooden planks easily catch the eye and create a strong divide between the nature on one side and the man-made on the other. The vibrance of the leaves and bushes works well with the black and brown of the metal and wood. This photo was taken in Portsmouth, UK on an iPhone.
This image was taken in Portsmouth, UK. It is a close-up of the hull of an upturned rowing boat – clearly painted blue at one point, but now scratched and discoloured from years of seawater and hauling the boat along the sand and concrete to where it is kept. There is a lot of detail in the scratches, with every small section of the hull being unique. Even though it was taken with just an iPhone camera, I am really pleased with the detail and colours. I also like the way that you can’t tell what the photo is of – until the explanation, it is just an interesting pattern.
