To shoot my pictures for pattern, texture, and rhythm I mostly used natural subjects and took them all outside. I feel one of the best pictures for this assignment was the red flower photograph. I was close to the flower for this shot which allowed the object to fill the frame of my composition. I took this photo mainly from straight on, but also at a small angle from above. I did consider the rule of thirds for this photograph using the flowers center bud to cut the photo into threes horizontal and vertical. I feel that the bark photograph successfully illustrate rhythm with the pattern of the lines throughout the photo which could create visual movement.
