The Rule of Thirds

This is a good example of Rule of the Thirds because the girls hands and face are on the left and top line.

Avoiding Mergers

This picture may have a lot of dead space, but it gets two subjects in it completely and there is no merging whatsoever.

Balance

The horses are almost completely symmetrical therefor making this picture balanced.

Simplicity

The colors in this photo go together, giving it a much simpler feel.

Framing

The whole in the wall upclose to the camera frames the left overs of the building in the background, which makes our focus go straight to them.

Lining

Most the parts of the buildings surrounding the guy in the photo point to him, directing our attention straight to him.
