Untitled

This photo really goes to show that almost anything can have photographic value, so long as care is given to taking the photo. A good use of framing can be seen here, in which the photographer shot an image of a building corner and some stairs. But the picture is framed well in the fact that the creases of the building and the stairs themselves compliment each other by adding an element of abstractness, such that the image is filled with right angles and straight lines.

Praying Mantis, Virginia

Insects have a lot of photographic value. Often we cannot see this with the naked eye, but advances in photographic technology has allowed us to do otherwise. What this picture grants us access to is a incredible view of a praying mantis in its hidden magnificence. The details, color, and anatomy of it all come together, and serve to deliver a remarkable picture.
