Photography/Theory- Kedleston Hall...

This image is actually of the statue of the lion in the grounds of Kedleston Hall; taken just from behind of the statue. I'm not certain as to why I decided to take the photograph but when I took a number I found that I liked it more than some of my others. I also liked how the tree in the background is slightly cut off due to it being behind the statue and the negative lines/space created by the statue and tree I like. I guess its the close up of the rock and the wet texture I like.

An image of one of the trees again in the grounds of Kedleston Hall. With this photograph I basically tried to focus the camera on one of the branches and have the rest blurry attempting to create a nice contrast between the two. Thinking about the negative space in the photograph once again, I think on the left side of the image with the light coming through the branches it creates an interesting effect, as if its fuzzy and distorted by the light. I also tried to make sure that the focused branch was in the center of the image as to attract attention and focus. 

A photograph of Kedleston Hall itself from outside. The actual architecture of the building, the statues, columns and patterns I found one of the most interesting features of the visit and I also loved the stairs outside: I'm not sure why exactly but I did really like them. I guess with this photograph I tried to make one of them quite challenging, bold images showing the size of the image however it didn't come out as I wanted it to. 

A close up photograph of a statue and what I tried to achieve and do with this image was to have it touching the the edge and to have the main object taking up a lot of the photograph. Also the light next to the image appears to have quite a bright and strong quality one in which I didn't actually aim to capture. With the close up this also allows the colours and pattern or difference in texture whatever it is on the cheek to be visible which  quite like. I think I might have already said it but I think the composition of the piece works well as well.
