Photographic Composition

I chose this photograph as an example as there are several different techniques that give this image more personality. For starters, the rule of three is being used. The top third of the photograph is the orange sky on the horizon, with the distant background full of trees scarcely peaking into the shot. The middle third (horizontally) is mainly the gradient from land to water. Finally, the lower third is the majority of the debris and the surrounding water. The divided sections of the photograph give order to the colour and allows things to flow more smoothly. Additionally, the debris is centred at an intersection in the bottom left, as opposed to being in the centre. This use of framing allows for more background to be visible.
