Avoiding Mergers

The American flag in this photo is not near anything else so it does not look merged with anything. The flag is on a clear background and has all attention going to the flag.

Lines

The diagonal rays from the sun coming down over the building draw attention to the buildings, the clear sky and the sun. It also makes the photo appear calm

Rule of thirds

The main focus of this photo is the army hummer, using rule of thirds shows the important part of the photo off center which draws more attention than if it was directly in the center.

Framing

Simplicity

Using simplicity in this photograph helps single out the car and letting the viewer focus on the writing in the ashes that are covering the car.

Balance

This photo shows balance because you could split the photo down the middle and both split parts could be sufficient photos by themselves.

Repetition photos

Repetition is shapes, lines, and forms, is a movement in which some elements recurs regularly.  Like a dance, it will have a flow of objects that will seem to be like the beat of music.
