My best photo would have to be photo #3. This picture incorporates both texture in the metal of the chandelier, and the pattern of crystals, as well as the grooves in the metal. Both give a viewer the sense of touch the features would give. Also, there is a balance of light and darkness, and you could argue that it follows the rule of thirds, as this photo is not centered. The bottom of the chandelier leads the eye up into the flow of the crystals. The picture was taken at a different perspective, looking up at the chandelier, up close.
Pictures 1, 2, 5, & 6 were taken straight on, so that all the details of the object could be captured and clear. Picture 3 was taken from below the object, and picture 4 was taken from above the hose. The point of view depended on what the subject was and if all the important features could be seen from that point of view. All of the photos taken are horizontal, except for the chandelier in picture 3. Since the object was more narrow, it required a vertical shot.
I think you could argue that all photos taken off center could follow the rule of thirds. My best photo, 3, follows the rule of thirds by having the negative space to the left as 1/3, and dividing the chandelier into the other 2/3. This photo is an example of pattern and texture. The crystals create a pattern within themselves, as well as the metal grooves and curves. Both appeal the sense of touch, due to its clear texture.
Pictures 4 & 5 had some exposure differences. Picture 4 was exposed too light at the same level, which made it look too dull and gray. The metal of the hose stood out being lighter, which did bring focus. Picture 5 had areas that were too dark, such as the pumpkins and below the basket. It also had a background, the negative space,that was too over exposed. The best example of a properly exposed photo is #1. I thought this had a good balance between lightness and darkness, making every detail clear enough, and the drums stand out.
