Analysis: 
I used a black and white filter because it makes the subject feel very dark, dank and gloomy, compared to the previous post, to contrast and highlight the differences. The camera was far back and raised above looking down on the subject, there were 2 key light sources, 1 on the left and 1 one the right. Due to the different locations of the light sources, the shadow has become distorted and the light sources was extremely close to the 2 subjects, this resulted in the shadows of the objects being less strong. The effect of the shadows is that the two shadows overlap each other and create a warped shadow. The shadows aren't intense, but the black and white filter that was used makes the composition feel more threatening with the darker colours.

Olive Cotton's practise is demonstrated in this composition, through the strange use of the light and incorporation of the shadow that it creates in the composition. The rules and guidelines shown through this image include 'rule of thirds' and 'repetition'.

Rule of Thirds: This compositional rule is shown through the location of the subject, being the flowers. The flowers are equally distributed in the imaginary boxes that makes up the rule of thirds.

Repetition: This guideline is evident as the shadow however dim can still be seen and is a reflection of the composition.
