There is a focal point in each image—the ice cube. The ice cubes create the focal point because of size isolation. There isn’t a whole lot else going on in the photos—with the exception of the puddles of water, so the very large ice cubes are the immediate focal point.

The illusion of space is created a couple of different ways. First, I used a shallow depth of field when taking the photos in order to create a false sense of atmospheric perspective. Thus, illusion of space is created because the foreground (the ice and the puddles) are in focus and the background (where the blue meets the tan) is out of focus. Second, illusion of space is created through shadow. We can see the shadow of the ice cubes reflected in the water or the table in each of the photos.

In terms of color scheme, the original photos—I’ve included one as a reference—are almost monochromatic in terms of the background. The yellow and brown blend together to create a dull warm color scheme. However, I played with the colors to get them to stand out a bit more and emphasize the ice and water. By playing with the colors I created a cool color scheme. Blues and purple dominate the photos, which give the photos some intellectual integrity. Ice tends to come to mind with cool color schemes. In addition to this, the colors used are largely primary. While there are some violet tints, mostly yellow and blue—primary colors—are used in the images.
