Texture

Even basic bikes are composed of many different materials. The background also provided a roughness in contrast to the smoothness of the bike. The photo of the seat contrasts the softness of the leather with the sharpness of the metal. The texture on the front stem really caught my eye, it's designed to look like it's raised but it's flat. 

Balance

For this project I decided to focus on balance. Balance in a photograph is the use multiple points of focus and the use of the entire frame. I used a bike as my subject, which was fitting with the study of balance because biking requires multiple focuses and the use of all parts of a bicycle. For this project I looked at parts of the bike that work together. I did this through the use of foreground and background as well as the rule of thirds.
