In this first image, I attempted to create a composition that reflected the Japanese traditional style of scroll art works. The image is well balanced with white and light brown both at the top and bottom. While the biggest object is the giant rock, there's various points of interest due to color, line, and placement. For example, the tree (which I made from wire) negates what would have been a solely vertical image as well as accentuate and suggest landscape with its flowing 'motion.'
In these next two images I wanted to show the differentiantion of color vs greys and see if one can be more successful than the other. Both are nice in their own way, but what I found interesting was the 'emotion' each conveys. The color image feels lively and peaceful. The black & white feels more dramatic due to the contrasts in shadows, especially in the face of the figure on the left who appears sterner here than in the color image. I, personally, like the B&W image more than the color.

I like the still life in BW better. Remember to get the items of interest in focus. In this case the people. Watch when you focus that the area of focus in the viewfinder in positioned upon your object of critical focus.
