This picture shows two women laying their heads against each others with flower decoration in their hair. The frame is filled mostly with their faces and upper half of their bodies, along with some blurry and very faint flowers in the foreground of the image. The way that these ladies are placed suggests that they are similar and very close in their relationship as sisters.

This image shows a subject in the background and foreground. This has helped to bring depth and variety into the frame and has created more room for landscape to be apart of the photograph. The camera was placed at a lower level, allowing more of the ground to show and be a component of this particular image.

This picture shows a family in nature. Both parents are looking at the child while the girl is facing towards the camera and looking directly into the lens. The placement of these subjects brings them in full view and captures all of the audiences attention towards them.

This picture shows two people walking with their dog through nature full of trees. The photographer is using a great depth of field to show the detail of everything in the picture.
