Four annotated pictures;

 This first picture as it uses shadows to show the people dancing in the foreground have three dimensions. I like this picture as even though the shadows are far away from the dancers you can still tell its from them. As well as this you can see the people are three dimensional as they also have shadows on they bodies, like on the back of they arms and it is noticeable against their white costumes.

 The second image i have selected to write about is a picture of two feet. This image again uses the shadows to show that the feet in the picture have three dimensions as opposed to two like the photograph. I like this image as the use of lighting is good and has a good contrast against the black background.

 The third image i have found is of a texture floor. I chose to use this image as even though the floor its self can not be portrayed to be three dimensional, through the use of lighting and the ridges in the floor you can see that the floor is not dead flat, that it has shape and dimension.

The final image i have selected to write about is this black and white picture of a rose. This picture is good at showing form as the lighter parts of the petals seem to be closer to us and the darker parts in the shadows seem further away and slightly smaller. The use of these shadows and lighting make the flower in the picture appear to be three dimensional.
