What type of composition do you see in this work? Describe how your eye moves around the image. Is this image unique? Why or why not?

I love the composition of this piece.I love how the man is off to the side and the balls are the main focus. My eyes move to to the balls on the ground first because that seems to be the main focus.

I think this picture is very unique, you dont normally see things like that.

I see an unbalanced compostion. the man outweighs the balls on the ground. first i look around the circular figure made by the metal balls, and then towards the man standing off to the side, and i see that he has two in his hand.

I feel as if the spheres in the picture kind of "roll" your eyes around the image.

The way my eyes move go from the darkest ball on the floor the rest in circular motion then I see the man,I thikn the main thing in the picture are the balls because the man looks out of place.

When i first look at this picture i notice all of the balls on the ground and how they are arranged. i then notice the guy standing next to them, and then the balls in his hand.

My eyes move rite to the ground since that's whats covering most of the picture, then to the circular thingies, then to that dirty man who is seriously in need of a shower, bath, or even hose! Kinda boring also. Nothing really amusing about it, besides the good quality it is in.

I think shapes play a definite role in this image. My eyes first see all the balls arranged on the ground. Then I see the guy. I think the image is unique. I don't really have a reason. I like it.

The composition is unbalanced. My eyes follow the balls around in the image. I do think that this image is unique. It's also cool how there is like a smiley face with the position of the balls.

first thing i notice is the balls on the ground, then that leads to the balls in the man's hand, this composition of this photo is amazing!!

the composition of this piece is like asymetrical as much as id like it to be for symmetrical.

My eyes go from the balls on the ground to the balls in the mans hand and then the mans pants and shirt. Then it goes to the entirety of the image.

I honestly don't find this image unique but I do find it appealing. To me, unique is something you don't see everyday..something abstract and abnormal. But I can see this happening in a local park in Streamwood so that's why i dont think its unique.

When i first look at this photo, i see the balls on the ground then i see a man holds the balls on his hand so im sure he plays bocce game or something like that. i think its good photo because the balls are shine which it gets people's attention and look around on this photo to get an idea i guess.

I really like how they make the balls the main focus point in this picture it really makes your eyes go right to them. My eyes move from the balls to the man. I think that it is a good composition and very different.

I see the rule of thirds going on, as well as assymetrical balance. My eyes first notice the man, and then move around the image by means of the smaller objects elsewhere in the photo. Its a unique aproach to defining a sport/game without actually putting a face on it.
