Missing the caption (the 5 W's put together), and you were supposed to describe why the picture was each technique.
Frame: The framing seems weak in that what is framed is either the green (that is blurry, or the upper left of the tree which is a weird place for it). The picture however is nice. The tree is in nice sharp focus, while the fence and background is blurred. This is relates to depth of field that we will talk about soon.
Simplicity: This is definately simple. Taking a picture from above like this removes all the distracting items on most horizons. Utilizing the rule of thirds here would have helped (put the white rock at the upper left intersection.
Leading Lines: This picture could have used some simplicity. What is the subject? The volvo? The road? The stop sign? It IS leading lines. Having the road coming at a diagonal often helps a picture like this.
Close up: Correct type. The main subject is not in focus (careful with that!) Looks like focus was on the ground? Or maybe you were too close? (We'll talk about macro later) Also ... Who should be "fall Crocus", What should be something like, "Growing in Angela's garden" ... why is good.
Rule of thirds: Yes. Could use simplicity. What is the subject here?
Good first run of pictures though!
The close up is good it has the whole thing in almost the entire frame. The only bad thing about it is that some of the flowers in the back are a little distracting but other than that it is good.
The simplicity effect of the rock is really cool. Your eyes go automatically to the one in the center which is good. Next time you take a simplicity picture however I would recggogmend (didn't spell that right) that you not take a picture of so many similar things. Main subject (big rock in middle) is hard to see. You can tell what the main subject is, but it would be nice of it was a solid background or something. GREAT pictures though. I really like the leading lines photograph. :)
I think the leading lines and the close-up shots are really good. The only bad photo I think, is the ruling thirds shot. It seems a lot blurrier and out of focus than it should. But other than that, these photos are good.
