9/11 Photos

Simplicity

The reason i chose this photo for simplicity is because the photographer took the photo with the subject ( The Man ) in focus and the background was blurred to help the viewer focus on the subject, this also helps the viewer get a straight-foward understanding of the photo. The dust in the background also shades the background to blend in with the mans coat.

Rule of Thirds

The reason i chose this photo for the rule of thirds element was becasue in my opinion the subject of this photo is the Twin Towers which are centered vertically but they are put off to the right side of the photo which makes the photo applicable to the rule of thirds.

Lines

I chose this photo for the lines element because the background of the photo contains the Twin Tower which has a horizontal line pattern on it, this allows for the viewer to focus on the subject of the photo which in this case is the man falling from the building.

Framing

I chose this photo for framing because in the framing tecnique it says that their can also be natural frame and i think in this photo the fallen tower behind the fire fighters is angled to create a framing effect around them and it allows the viewer to have a clear idea about the subject, for this photo the flag and the fire fighters around it are the subject and the framing makes them stick out in the photo. 

Balance

I chose this photo for the balance tecnique because i think that the three remaining frames in the picture create a triangular shape and they are centered in the middle to create a balanced composition, the light used in the background also helps the subject stick out. 

Avoiding Mergers

I chose this photo to represent the avoiding mergers because although the photo has a lot of strong meaning and representation behind it it would be hard to crop it with the flag merging onto the mans face or the flag, the way that the flag merges into his face might create problems with editing later on in the photo.
