Simplicity

This picture represents simplicity because if you would see this picture for the first time, your eyes will automatically go to the burning building. The background is not distractive so the building has all of the visual attention. With all of the attention on the burning building,wanting to know what's happening, the attention is focused on the building.

Lines

This picture represents lines because the lines of the building is in the background of the man's legs and his figure. With the lines of the building in the background the attention is also going to the falling man. The lines make a interest in "what is happening in this photo" question.

Balance

This picture represents balance because the three men form a rectangle. The colors are also very good in this picture because the whole background is white or gray except the 3 fireman and the one in the background. The 3 fireman are yellow and black making the attention go to them.

Rule of Thirds 

This picture represents rule of thirds because the picture of the five people standing and looking is in the right bottom of the "grid". The top part is all black,gray, and white except the picture of the people. The picture of the peoples is in color which draws attention to the bottom right of the "grid".

Framing 

This picture represents framing because the attention is on the ash but the building creates more depth.  The buildings helps create a story too. With the buildings, it also creates questions about whats happening in this picture.

Avoiding Mergers 

This picture represents avoiding mergers because the people in the background distract the man in the street. If I took this picture i would try to get the man and only the man. But, other than that I like how the man is in black suit and the background is a grayish color. They also cut the girl on the far left out of the picture half and half.
