Describing Tone:

light, dark, shadows, highlights, shades

Variety of Tone:

The tone in this photo is shown through the different shadows that come from the shadows on the street lights. While the background is black and the shades on the tree are also, the light tones come from the bright tree lights. 

The tones in this picture come from the contrasting white picket fence that is shown over the dark toned background. This photo is particularly effective due to the contrasting tones and the clouds in the background.

This is one of my favourite tone pictures due to how fine each detail is on the leaf. The tones come from the shadow of the leaf against the solid white background. The different tones on the leaf really exaggerate the texture and show the delicate nature of the leaf.

This tone is different to other tones as they're in black and white making it stand out to me. Each part of the flower has its own light town with the use of form being shown in the inside also display form and texture.
