Illusion of Space/Balance
Image A gives the illusion that the statue on the left is fairly close to the statues on the right. But if we look at image B, we see that the statues are farther spread apart. Choosing a perspective that lines the objects up gives the illusion of foreshortened space in the image. Image A’s subjects, the statues, are placed on the left and middle third of image leaving little elements to lead the viewers eye completely around the image, therefore it is not a strongly balanced composition. It is weighted more heavily towards one side. Image B however is balanced because there is a subject in the left and right third, noting that neither statue is directly in the middle.

Texture
Image C shows texture because the focus of the image is on the hands of the statue which have a grain texture to them. Image D shows the vertical rock grains and we also see marks by the sculptor which is texture. We also see the contrast between smooth dark shadow and the texture of the statue. Image E shows texture by portraying a close up detail image of the color lines of the stone and the texture left behind by carving the statue.
