Photographic Composition

 Simplicity: This bird represents simplicity because by having the sun come in under the right wing it makes the eagle stand out more and your focus stays right on the eagle.

Rule of Thirds: This picture demonstrates the rule of thirds because the image creates one focal point, using the rule of thirds. The picture is not very busy, and there are not distracting images in the background that take your eyes away from the picture. Since the picture is close up and in the left hand corner, you can clearly examine the image with no distractions in the background.

 

 Lines: This picture demonstrates the element of lines in photography, through its use of diagonals forcing the eye to focus on the center of the tire. This directs the eye to the BMW symbol (focal point).

Framing:  This image exemplifies the element of framing, through the lines that the panels of the archway create.  The archway frames the balcony and its architectural importance to the Communications building.  The angle at which I took the picture helps creates a greater sense of depth.
