Creative use of the 'edge'

Here are some images I've shot recently with a focus on framing and creative use of the 'edge'.
Using repetition in your composition can have a great impact on your viewers. The human eye is comfortable seeing repetitive objects and finds patterns pleasant. Creating your pictures around repeating elements or patterns provides picture unity and structure. Pattern repetition creates rhythm that the eyes enjoy following. When lines, shapes, and colours within a picture occur in an orderly way (like a wallpaper), they create patterns that often enhance the beauty of photographs.
