Repetition

Repetition is using a certain piece or element of an image more than once. It can give a sense of movement, variation, harmony, unity, etc.

The first image is the one I took. I felt that what made this image beautiful was the uniqueness of the elements on the edge - the two red leaves, and the black shoes. However, the only reason these elements are interesting is because of the repetition of all the leaf imprints. It is interesting to see so many imprints of leaves, and then when your eye finds the one bright red, real leaf, it is so exciting. The contrast is so interesting.

The second picture is composed mainly of repetition. All the trees look very similar, almost just like long dark lines. Then they all form a similar pattern that leads right to the center. The perspective really highlights the repetition and makes it interesting, and also provides a space for variation among the leaves which makes the image more enjoyable to look at.

The third image is an example of repetition in color. There is red all over this image - red in the sky, red in the flowers, and so many red flowers all over the image. The repetition is what makes the image so beautiful and harmonious.
