Composition

  Simplicity-
I thought that this photo had simplicity because it didn't have a busy background, and the photographer choose the simple background of the blue sky to draw emphasis to the subject.

Rule of thirds-

I think this photo was the rule of thirds because it showed the subject, a firefighter, in the bottom left corner, which is one of the corners you can use in the rule of thirds. It also left a lot of space in front of the subject to create an interesting photo.

Lines-

I think this photo quite literally showed lines, because it had the symmetric pattern on one of the towers, and the up vertical lines also drew attention to the subject.

Balanced- I thought this photo was balanced, because it very obviously had two firefighters balancing an injured firefighter on them, but it also had the firefighters in the right corner, and to balance out the heavy subject in the right, it showed the rubble and car on the left side.

Framing- For this one I thought that the trees around the people created a natural frame, because it has foliage all around and then the people in the clearing.

Merger-

I thought this one was a merger because one of the posts on the sign kind of blended in to the guys head, and some of the people on the left are cut off slightly.

Symmetry and Patterns-

I thought this one showed symmetry and patterns because it had the three lanes, spaced exactly apart, and then the sign right in the middle. I also think that it breaks the symmetry slightly, because you see in the background that the road curves around.

Viewpoint-

I chose this one for viewpoint, because I think it was shot from an interesting viewpoint as it was looking up at the new world trade center.

Create Depth-

I thought this one created depth because it had some people running away in the foreground, but also included some buildings overlapping that help you understand that one is further away from the other.

Cropping-

This one is a good example of cropping because it crops in the subjects, and eliminates a lot of the outside clutter that was going on around the scene.
