Having spend an hour taking several pictures, I am able to look through them and clearly see which ones work and which ones don't. For example, the 3 pictures below are 3 that didn't look how we wanted them to.
1) This image is clearly very blurry therefore instantly it does not look visually impressive. It is also slightly wonky which makes it more unattractive and less visually pleasing. The focus is very bad and to improve, I would need to make sure the camera is well focused and maybe try a different angle. Perhaps a low angle would have been better as it might have created more depth, and maybe made the image stand out and look a bit more powerful. I could have had someone stood at the end of the corridor because it is quite a nice natural frame.
2) This image unlike the other is not blurry, however it just does not work. There is a horrible light shining at the top of the image and the angle of the camera makes the book look an odd shape, and it isn't straight. The colours do work well together and provide a great contrast but I think to really create an impact, I would have needed to move the camera angle. It might have looked effective if it was between some other books that perhaps weren't as bright as this would have allowed it to really stand out and contrast. Also, the light reflecting off the book makes it look unprofessional. Maybe if it wasn't such an extreme close up and we could see a bit more background it might have looked more impressive.
3) A clear issue with this image is that it is not straight. The camera angle is wonky, instantly making it look bad quality. Also, the subjects feet are blurred which looks unprofessional. To improve, I would need to make sure the subject is not in the centre because this isn't pleasing for the eye. I would remove the bins as it makes things look quite messy and I would need to make sure that the focus was really clear on my subject. It may have worked better in a different environment, perhaps outdoors so the subjects blue coat contrasted with the greens from the trees.On the other hand, there were some images that I was really pleased with. The next 3 images are 3 that I thought worked well together and created a really good effect.
1) In this image, I really like all of the different colours and textures and how they contrast with each other and create a really good overall effect. I specifically enjoy the effect created with the holographic material and the fluffy material. The holographic sleeve creates a lead line through the photo which makes it look visually impressive and the pink material on the far right just gives it that extra contrast that really makes the image 'pop' and become brighter. 
2) I really love the detail in this image. each individual branch is really clear and it looks very focused. I think it contrasts well with the dull sky in the background and the orange coloured tree in the bottom right. I think the tree stands out well and although it completely covers the frame, I think it works because of how intricate the branches are. The sky appears to have a line of light through it which was not intentional but does work really well because it brightens the image up, rather than it all being quite dull. The big trunk of the tree is about a third of the way up, so I think it uses the rule of thirds quite well.
3) I love the contrast in lighting in this image. It is has light parts, mid tone parts and dark parts. It makes good use of the diagonal line and it is almost quite quirky because it looks very unusual and it is hard to tell what the image consists of. I like how it looks almost unnatural and quite sinister. It creates a dark atmosphere. I also like how the lines on the ceiling are reflected diagonally above, it again creates an unusual effect. At the bottom it seems to fade from dark to light, starting in the bottom left corner and I really like how this comes across.
