Out of the nine photos shown here, this photo is in my opinion the best photo. The composition is unique in the way that the texture of the wooden pole is so clearly visible along with the shiny metal texture of the pole number. This image also follows the rule of thirds with the location of the number and the edge of the pole. The following of the rule of thirds creates a distinct area of negative space with the trees in the background. This image also demonstrates aperture with the blurred background of trees and focused foreground (shallow depth of field). The powerline on the pole also leads the viewer up the pole slowly as more details and textures become clear and in focus. When taking this photo, I used the sunny white balance to accomodate for the bright sun that was shining on the subject, along with a moderate ISO around 200. In order to capture the shallow depth of field, I placed my F stop on F/16 with a shutter speed of 1/100 to take a clear and crisp image. I think that the way that the image is formatted along with the clarity of the texture makes this image the best one out of my nine that I have shown above. I think the sun shining on the edge of the pole also enhances the image and makes an interesting division between either side of the photograph. The powerline that conveniently divides the pole into two separate sections adds an extra quality to the image that makes the photo interesting and just about separates the image into the rule of thirds once more. The difference in temperature between both sides of the pole creates a different mood and dividing line of color which makes the image interesting and bold.
