FOCAL POINT

http://www.picturecorrect.com/tips/focal-point-in-photo-compositions/ - This helped me.

FOCAL POINT: A focal point is the part of an image that draws the eye of a viewer to the most important part of the image or the area that you want to highlight. I these images I think that the blood and hair are the main focal points because the models faces and bodies are very pale, almost blending into the water.
FACTUAL: These images are taken by the photographer Manuela Kali these images are in the series 'White Gallery' 
THE CONTEXT: The models look like they have been submerged in water that is slightly cloudy. As a result of this the focal point of these images are the models face and also what hey are holding or the added thing to the water. The water appears to be very shallow because the models look like they have been brought very close to the surface of the water. Making them a clearer focal point.  
TECHNICAL: The lighting in this image is dull because there is no glare on the water or it has been edited out after. I think that the there are lights from nearly every angle because there isn't any shadowing at the edges of the images. Having the lighting like this makes the water look very flat and he models closer to the surface of the cloudy water.
AESTHETIC: I think these images are quite bold because of the point of the images, the message that they are trying to get across.
