Contrast, Balance, Harmony

I found it to be slightly more challenging to find and decide on a photo for this assignment due to the fact that it had to contain all three visual components of contrast, balance, and harmony. The most obvious of the three, from my perspective at least, is the contrast of the three different colored flowers held against one another. Additionally, the contrast of the two different street patterns lying beneath. I find the next most distinguished component to be balance with the combined curved shape formed by the flowers being balanced both visually and physically by the curved hand holding them. This makes the hand and flowers more of a combined object rather than two completely separate things. Lastly, I find there to be harmony in the colors and contrasts of this photo. Although all the three flowers are distinctly different colors, the similar colored inner parts of the flowers bring harmony to the image. The placement of the thumb and flowers directly down the middle of the two contrasting sidewalks also brings harmony through connecting that contrast of background.
