Week 7 Homework 3 Sets of Images
Leading Lines: Shadow Before I broke the leading lines rule by moving too close to my cat, so the wooden boards didn't guide the viewer's eye to the subject. The composition feels tighter, but the lines are less noticeable. This makes the cat not stand out as much as it could.

Contrast Discussion Week 3
The reason I picked How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World was mostly because of the movie poster.
