I chose this image to demonstrate unity. I feel that the primary unifying factor is the similar shape among the flakes in the rock face, that also tie in with the shape of the overhanging leaves. In this sense, not only is the composition united between the different surfaces, but the foreground is in harmony with the background. A secondary unifying element could be the repetition of the diagnols formed by the shadows under the flakes (moving from upper left to bottom right). Finally, a tertiary element I noticed was the manner in which the overhanging leaves seem to subtely frame the pinnacle of the boulder. Other elements that play a role are the contrasting textures between the soft veiny leaves and the harsher, yet still smooth rock surface.
