This photo plays with the concept of
foreground/background. I blurred the foreground (the action figure) in
order to bring the focus to the frogs. I also was attempting to emphasize
the illusion that the action figure is looking at the frogs but also hiding
(both to someone looking at the photo and to the frogs).
In this photo, I tried to establish the
illusion of sunlight through including the glare of the background. It
was challenging to establish the right proportions in this photo because I was
using a book as the background and the frogs were slightly larger than I wanted
them to be in proportion to the trees but I took the picture close to the green
frog in order to establish a foreground that made the trees look more realistic.
In this photo, I used the angle (close to
the frogs) in order to make the size of the ocean believable. The use of
background and foreground also helps create a sense that the ocean is far
away. I also think rule of thirds applies to this photo in two ways (1.
The sky is the upper third of the photo and 2. the frogs make up the lower
third of the photo).

Finally, this is my favorite photo because I think it does a
good job of establishing depth. The orange pitchfork immediately draws
your eye because it is brightly colored and in focus, but after a moment, the
eye picks up on the ocean in the background. It is almost as if the
pitchfork is pointing at the line where the sand meets the ocean. The
point where the sky meets the water also creates a rule of thirds composition.
