For this image the dominant feature is the window frame. The screen is also in sharper focus than the road which blurs the road even more.

The frame cuts through the train station bringing the focus away from the station and road.

In the background the cars are just beginning to accelerate which blurs the background further. The frame is still the dominant object of this picture.

The frame is partially out of the picture which gives the image more balance.

The screen and sill are the dominant images in this picture. The screen makes the train platform more or less unrecognizable.

Unlike the last image the focus in on the platform. The screen acts more like a filter when the camera is not focused on it.

The sill is only mildly more dominant than the train station in this picture.

I choose to shoot my images through a window on the third floor of Smith Hall. My images are of the train station and Huntington Ave. I used both the screen and window frame as part of the pictures.
Edit- I used the principle of dominance. In my pictures I shifted the dominance from my window sill, which bisects some of the pictures, to the street and train platform below. Specifically in the fourth and eight image there is minimal dominance. I used focus and placement to create emphasis on aspects of the picture, such as the window sill or the street below.

Hey Katrina,
There are some great images here. And your experimentation of a very focused point of view and frame is really interesting...
My question for you is--whats the compositional principle you were working with in shooting these images? Please write about how you were using one element and pushing it to its two extreme opposites. Then I can comment on the assignment fully...
Thanks,
Jane
PS. There is a lot of great stuff in these images, both technically and thematically. But I am curious about how you were thinking about the content of the assignment particularly with regard to composition.
