Optical patterns visually perceived images that are deceptive or misleading. so the information gathered by the eye is processed by the brain to give, on the face of it. When the viewer looks at them, the impression is given of movement, hidden images, flashing and vibration, patterns, or alternatively of swelling or warping. What do you really see?

The symmetrical patterns on the facade of the doors and the tracery on the window of Guggenheim Hall display a repeating utilization of style in architectural design, which fulfills requirement 4 of the assignment. To make the reflection of the sky from the windows more visually prominent, I saturated the photo in post-processing and used the auto lens correction tool in Lightroom to straighten the lines.
The O2, visually typeset in branding as The O2, is a large entertainment district on the Greenwich peninsula in South East London, England, including an indoor arena, a music club, a Cineworld cinema, an exhibition space, piazzas, bars and restaurants. It was built largely within the former Millennium Dome, a large dome-shaped building built to house an exhibition celebrating the turn of the third millennium; as such, The Dome remains a name in common usage for the venue.
I'm attempting to visually capture the thought-ecosystem and how trail blazers aren't necessarily the same folks who are able to be appreciated as the thought-leaders.
Visually delicious. You go to some spaces and it's just pictures on a wall. Not here. Excellent use of the space to meet the theme.

Intention/Technical:
Since I chose the “Macro” theme, the goal in this image was to isolate one specific subject from the background with selective POV, a shallow/narrow DOF by using f/13 and 100/mm focal length, yes, again purposeful composition,” and “aesthetics” (visual beauty within an image for all to visually embrace kinetically/emotionally.

What’s important about shadows is that when they’re present they can create a significant amount of impact in a photograph. The upper and bottom right side of image displays enforcing shadows by bringing light to the viewers eye to left side of frame. The shadow aides the Third Rule involuntarily.
Outcome:
The image is visually engaging. Intentionally created with multiple layers duplicating the original layer). The subject is not sharp but does capture the viewers’ eye, it is softly lit and stands in contrast to the multiple textured layers of bokeh (soft, blurry background). I chose to show the beetle, yet also to hide, but not overly hidden (creating additional layers placing them under the primary layer while adjusting their individual opacity). I additional layers were created to give the beetle a sense of hiding.
Edits:
My goal was to selection (Macro) chosen from the indicated list to suit my artistic and/or professional goals and aspirations. The image was colored balanced for warmth. Multiple layers were created. Normal to Luminosity. Curve (darken). Brightness 0/18. Contrast 0/46, and yes, cropped to take away the business of the image. Third Rule used. Vignette not required. I am not pleased with the pixelate. Any thoughts? Composition (accomplished).
Photo Post-Production Techniques (more than I had hoped for). Flicker/sentencing (complete). Work Ethic (planning/creation) just a few shots taken with camera. Project Delivery (protocol completed…Project #_Shot #_Grays.jpg).

Day 2. Angkor Wat is visually, architecturally and artistically breathtaking. It is a massive three-tiered pyramid crowned by five lotus-like towers rising 65 meters from ground level. Angkor Wat is the centerpiece of any visit to the temples of Angkor.
At the apex of Khmer political and military dominance in the region, Suryavarman II constructed Angkor Wat in the form of a massive 'temple-mountain' dedicated to the Hindu god, Vishnu. It served as his state temple, though the temple’s uncommon westward orientation has led some to suggest that it was constructed as Suryavarman II’s funerary temple. Other temples of the same style and period include Thommanon, Banteay Samre, Wat Atwea and Beng Melea, which may have served as a prototype to Angkor Wat.
Angkor Wat is surrounded by a moat and an exterior wall measuring 1300 meters x 1500 meters. The temple itself is 1 km square and consists of three levels surmounted by a central tower. The walls of the temple are covered inside and out with bas-reliefs and carvings. Nearly 2000 distinctively rendered apsara carvings adorn the walls throughout the temple and represent some of the finest examples of apsara carvings in Angkorian era art. But it is the exterior walls of the lower level that display the most extraordinary bas-reliefs, depicting stories and characters from Hindu mythology and the historical wars of Suryavarman II. It is in the viewing of the bas-reliefs that a tour guide can be very helpful.
The northern reflecting pool in front is the most popular sunrise location. For sunrise, arrive very early, well before sunrise begins. The sun will rise behind Angkor Wat providing a silhouette of Angkor’s distinctively shaped towers against a colored sunrise sky. Some of the best colors appear just before the sun breaks over the horizon.
The visual impact of Angkor Wat, particularly on one's first visit, is awesome. As you pass through the outer gate and get your first glimpse, its size and architecture make it appear two dimensional, like a giant postcard photo against the sky. After you cross through the gate and approach the temple along the walkway it slowly gains depth and complexity. To maximize this effect you should make your first visit in optimal lighting conditions, i.e. after 2:00PM. Do not make your first visit to Angkor Wat in the morning when the backlighting obscures the view.
The first level of is the most artistically interesting. Most visitors begin their exploration with the bas-reliefs that cover the exterior wall of the first level, following the bas-reliefs counterclockwise around the temple. Bas-relief highlights include the mythological Battle of Kuru on the west wall; the historical march of the army of Suryavarman II, builder of Angkor Wat, against the Cham, followed by scenes from Heaven and Hell on the south wall; and the classic ‘Churning of the Ocean Milk’ on the east wall.
The temple interior is not as densely carved as the first level exterior, but still sports hundreds of fine carvings of apsaras and scenes from Hindu mythology. A guide can be quite helpful in explaining the stories of the various chambers, statues and architectural forms to be found in the interior. At the upper-most of your tour of the temple, the central tower on the third level houses four Buddha images, each facing a different cardinal point, highlighting the fact that though Angkor Wat was constructed as a Hindu temple, it has served as a Buddhist temple since Buddhism became Cambodia’s dominant religion in the 14th century. Some say that it is good luck to pay homage to all four Buddha images before departing Angkor.
