Composition Review - 3 Rules

Mr. Farley provided the class with a picture he took. The assignment was to edit it to show the three composition rules we chose at the beginning of the year. I used Camera Raw to add clarity (for Texture), to rotate the photo (for Leaning In), and to crop (for Avoiding the Middle).

After

From NYT's Lens, I chose picture 11 from Revisiting Unhealed Wounds in Chechnya, because they depicted my rules best. The grass and mud on the shoe added texture to the photo, and the shoe was positioned in a way that followed my rule of Leaning In. I couldn't find a single picture that "avoided the middle," but Picture 11 showed my other two rules best.
See Picture 11 Here

My Three Composition Rules:
1. Leaning In- Link to Leaning In
2. Avoid the Middle- Link to Avoiding the Middle
3. Texture- Link to Texture
