Exercise - The relationship between points

Finding two points was not easy. It's the viewpoint that came into play.
Most objects I found tend to be occupying a whole image that they don't represent points therefore I had to be somewhat higher so the background stay plain and the objects don't occupy so much space.
However this exercise went OK at the end.

1. The two ducks of Wetland Trust
This image was taken at Wetland Trust in Barnes. There were actually three ducks but I cropped one off so the image could contain 2 points and I also cropped some empty space around the duck off so the 2 points could be placed on the edge of the frame.
Looking at the image below, my eyes are induced to move the duck in the back before moving back to the duck in the front. The reason is the duck in the back is in focus, while the front duck is rather out of focus. Even though the front duck seems larger because it's closer to the viewer.



2. The two sets of deck chairs
This image was taken in Hyde Park Corner in London. There were many set of deck chairs out that day because the Sun was shining but it was quite breezy, nobody was using the deck chairs. They were left empty. I walked pass these two sets of deck chair and I could see them fit in one frame so I took the picture with the tree behind it.
I cropped a little bit of space out and adjusted level in Photoshop to make the image look less flat.
As the eyes moving between these two points (two sets of deck chairs) the front set of deck chairs seem to be the dominant ones because they are closer to the viewer and therefore seem larger.



3. Two Mute swans in the pond
This image was taken in the Kensington garden next to Hyde Park Corner. There were many swan in the pond on that sunny breezy day. There were a few nests in the middle of the pond.
One of the swans (in the picture) was resting in the nest while the other was possibly drinking water but some weed was stuck to its beak.
I used 55-250mm zoom lens so I could crop the unwanted area including the background and isolated these two swans to be in the frame.
The two Mute swans were not right at the edge of the frame, they were just off centre where they created moderately dynamic in the frame but balanced each other.
The Mute swan with some weeds stuck to its beak (the front one) appears to be more dominant in the frame because it's facing to the viewer and the appearance is more focus and larger.



Conclusion:
As the eyes are moved from one point to another and back (and forth), there is an implied line between these two points. This line is apparently the most important dynamic in a two point image. The direction of the line tend to be from the stronger point to the weaker one.
Sometimes it's not so obvious which point is stronger but the line is there.
