In this picture of a Devon slate wall, I took two images from the same position. This was zoomed in to just show a small section of the wall. The pattern adds to the vertical lines. This picture is flat, and taken at a right angle to the subject. It is only the leaves that give it any colour.
These fisherman floats and nets give a diagonal (top left to bottom right) and the colours are in contrast to the slate wall photo above. The diagonal cutting the across the picture separates the white and green netting.
The mooring rope leads you into the photo from the bottom right, snaking up to the top of the photo. The change from one type of rope from another, and the change in colour, adds interest to the subject. Using a high F-stop and wide angle lens allowed the whole rope to remain in focus. This could have been taken with a smaller F-stop and from further back with a zoom lens and thrown part of the rope out of focus, but I feel that this works better.
This photo was used originally for the depot of field photos. It was taken with a wide angle and high F-stop, which puts the bush and cliffs in focus.
