Gestalt Principals



I'm Trying to decide if this is one of the laws or maybe just a figure/ground relationship. To me this picture looks as if the statue is shielding himself from the rays of light coming into the room. I love the angle of light cutting down from the glorious windows. The different textures of the flooring is crazy. You can also see the curve of the wall just below the top row of windows.
              
This is my interpretation of the law of continuity. The water is following the path of least resistance by continuing downstream. I like how you can see the reflection of the trees and the distinct textural differences. I also love the rays of sun beaming through the top corner. This is a harmonious picture and brings me joy. 
   
To me, this represents the law of similarity with all the chairs and the glass dividers grouped into sections. They are balanced and spaced at coordinating and complimentary intervals.   Everything is so linear and precise.  

This picture seen as a whole represents the law of closure. You can see both levels in this shot. The ground level has the horizontal flooring. The glass dividers on the next level bring a vertical angle and makes your eye keep moving up following the staircase. Finally your eyes rest on the horizontal ceiling with its double row of inset lighting. You get a top to bottom glance in this photo.
