This photo is one i have found on the internet it shows a dirt path covered in dead leaves going through some trees.  It has a kind of autumn colours sort of theme to it with the dead leaves and shows contrast between the green leaves and the brown tree trunks.  It also shows depth and colour quite effectively through the use of the trees in the centre at a distance and the vibrant green of the leaves.

This is a photo that I have taken myself of a forest path with dead leaves all over it and some trees to either side.  It shows contrast between the green leaves, brown tree trunks and the blue patch of sky visible as well as between the green undergrowth and the dead leaves on the path.  The photo has an autumn colours theme and shows both depth, as the trees get smaller as they go along the path, and colour through the bright, vibrant green leaves.

These two photos relate through both their theme and the formal elements that they represent, both have an autumn colours theme and have similar contrasts between the leaves and tree trunks.  Both show depth and colour through the use of the same things trees and leaves.
