As a result of the the close perspective of the leaf, and it's relationship with the sun burning through forces the eye to first notice the shape the veins and there connections to each other. The leaf is dried out and has breakage creating gaps, and contrast of texture. It took a moment to pull back and see past the detail of the veins to see the steam, and realize I was seeing a leaf. The water or frost is reflecting light.
Law of Continuity
I know this is a piece of architecture. I think it is the top corner of a building with windows or gaps flooding in light.. This image displays the Law of Continuity because the angular shapes pull the eye to the right, but in contrast the shadow pulls to the left. The dark shapes at the bottom of the image pushing the eye back in repeating the previous motion.
Law of Similarity
The arches of the bridge mirrors itself in the river. The reflection is so crisp it is easy for the eye to link the arch of the bridge with its own reflection producing circles. The photo's hues and contrast have been manipulated making the distinction between the river and the bridge hard to differentiate the separation.
Law of Proximity
The girl's hand is reaching out, because of perspective it looks as if the rainbow is coming out of her palm.
Law of Closure
This image might be a stretch to apply to the Law of Closure. Although, the delineation between magazine and the person is obvious; it's successful because of the context. The placement of the magazine page on the face of the subject blends together to represent a single person. This image makes an interesting comment how women see themselves, and the portrayal of women in media. The "elegant" headline is a nice touch emphasizing social definitions.
Figure/Ground Relationship
I'm not grasping these principles very well. I thinks this applies because of focal planes. If I'm off mark here let me know. I think I'm making this harder then it is.
