Connecting essay 1:

The first photo is of the London eye at a side angle. The use of composition is what makes this image effective. The use of the side angle enables a closer view of the pods of the eye, and well as showing the distance of the whole eye. The photographer has also included a lot of the sky in the photo, and has the sun seeping through the clouds. There is also use of the formal elements form and depth to help show a accurate representation of the eye and attempt to show the scale of the eye itself. 

In the second image the London eye is photographed at an angle. The image includes a close up of one of the sides and helps to picture and idea of the scale of the eye. In this image there is the sky seeping through the clouds, which allows for one side of the image to appear brighter than the other. In this image it helps to create the use of depth in the image and demonstrates the use of form.

These two images both include the formal elements of depth and form, and help to demonstrate the structure of the London eye. The frame of the shot is wider in the second image than in the first, which allows the eye to appear in corner of the frame. The composition of the second image is different changing the way you view the image and the angle of the second image make the eye look a different size than it does in the first.
