Simplicity


This photo is rather simple because there is not much to it. The only thing in the photo, pretty much, is the man and the dog. The background is mostly plain and the only thing your eye really catches is just the man and the dog. there is a person in the background running, but you don't see that until later when you actually start taking in the entire photo.

Rule of thirds



The men are placed at the bottom third of the photo as the smoke and ash is placed at the top two thirds. The men are also placed at the bottom right third as the smoke is placed at the top left and center thirds. This is also a good example of lines because the railing points right towards the men standing, watching the smoke billow about.


Lines





The lines from the fallen World Trade Center tower are pointing right to the sky. It gives a feeling of sadness and longing since the Twin Towers are no longer in the sky, but at the ground, wanting to be tall again.

Balance





This one is obvious. How can you not tell it's balanced? The horses are symmetrically placed to where it's almost the same on both sides. It's very balanced, even the contrast of white on black.

Framing


The bottom part of the debree is framing the bottom half of the picture for the workers. it is a little distracting in which the one part of debree is sticking out in the middle of the photo, but I think it is still an example of framing.

Mergers



Most of it isn't merged. The only part that is, is the two men holding the casket. Which gives and example of non-merging and an example of merging. Also the people get cut off so there is more merging in the photo.
