These are both the exact same picture of my younest daughter. There isn't alot of bright color to this, but perspective is still affected by those colors that are around her. In the uncropped shot, it seems as if we are very far away and also at a very sharp angle above her, due in part to the large amount of dull colors closing in on her. In the cropped version, we are still above her, but the angle doesn't seem so great - it feels as if we are more on a level with her. It is much more personal since she does not have the overshadowing dark and neutral colors surrounding her. Also, the side of the wall is very bright and distracting in the uncropped photo, drawing out attention from the main subject - my daughter playing in the dirt.
I really like the way the colors pop out in this picture. The bright hues stand out against the dark green of the couch. Just about every color is present and bright, yet the contrast adds festivity to the image. The scattering of the items was an accident, but the placement makes a very vivid and mobile image to draw the eye to each element. There is even a kind of symmetry to it with the majority of the bag and items in the center and opposing items to the left and right sides.
This merry-go-round horse head is cropped from a larger picture. I noticed that the sun's position caused the neck on the left to be bright and a slight shadow is present on the right and back side of the face. Both these elements encourage focus on the face of the horse, as do the bright color of the harness and darkly painted eyes. The shadows also emphasize the detail of the carved facial muscles, along with some shading in the paint.
