Just like value, colour is best represented in contrast. Some colours work well with each other and some don't. The colours that do work well with each other are the ones located opposite of the colour spectum. I decided apon this photograph because purple and yellow are opposite on the spectrum and complement each other nicely especially with the dark shade of black in the background that gives more emphasis to the individual colours.

Texture
The texture of an image is an aid that allows the eye to "feel" the image. By adding texture, a photograph becomes more realistic and relatable to something you would find with your eyes in real life that you would be able to touch. The scales on the large fish gives the eye something to "touch" and is a compermise to the fact that a two-dimensional image doesn't have physical texture.

Size
Size is best percieved in photograph in a comparative manner, meaning in order to properly destinguish something as large or small the viewer needs something familiar to compare it to. This painting of David and Goliath is perfect as the viewer can recognize David as a normal-sized man and then have an idea of how large Goliath is.
Shape
The contours of the lines that create this impossible triangle are distinct against the boring negative space behind it. Giving radiance and colour to the shape, which is the main focus of the photograph, aids the viewer in ignoring the negative space and focusing on the positive space as much as posible.
Space
The way the some of the cubic buildings and skyscrapers strench away and towards you adds a great depth and three-dimensional effect to the photograph. This photograph also utilizes blur and focus to make the building seem distant and give perspective.
Line
There is only one place in the following photograph where destinct curvature can be found. This is why I decided apon this photo. The darkness of the indent on the material that creates the line against the bright background captures the viewer's attention and their eyes instantly follow the parallel lines.
Value
This photo is great representation of value solely bacause it beautifully contrasts the shades of black and white against each other. The spotlight on the giutarist invokes the viewer to primarily focus on that part of the picture and gives the section of the photograph emphasis.
