I think that my photo had interesting leading lines. The street light and the tallest building that can be seen create interesting perpendicular lines. I think the smaller, closer building helps draw the eye to the focal point, which isthe white hat of the man walking across the street. Another rule of composition that was portrayed well in this photo is the rule of thirds. The people crossing the street are not directly in the center of the photo, nor or they directly to the side. The final rule of composition that is used well in this picture is the use of light. I think this picture has wonderful lighting. I took it during the evening and surprisngly the picture did not turn out gray at all. The bottom is a little dark but you can still identify what's on the bottom half of the picture. I think that the principle of design that is best represented in this photo is contrast. I did not use a contrast filter for this photo, it came out like this naturally. I think the lighting made the contrast perfect. I also think that it's helpful that the man was wearing a white hat. Because of that, his head really stand out and creates a lot of contrast.
