Rules Of Composition


Leading Lines: The chain-link fence serves as a leading line, drawing the viewer's eyes toward the illuminated areas of the photograph.

Rule of Thirds: The image appears to be divided into thirds, both horizontally and vertically. The street lights and the horizon are roughly positioned at the one-third and two-thirds marks of the image.

Layering: There's a clear foreground (fence), mid-ground (field and structures), and background (sky and clouds), adding depth to the photo.

Contrast: The bright lights contrast with the darker sky and field, creating focal points.


Framing: The tree and its leaves in the foreground act as a natural frame for the scene beyond. This draws the viewer's attention inward.

Rule of Thirds: The main elements of the photo, such as the bright light (presumably the moon) and the foreground tree, are positioned roughly around the intersections of the one-third and two-thirds grid lines, both vertically and horizontally.

Contrast: The bright light contrasts significantly with the darker surroundings, making it a dominant focal point.

Layering: There is a foreground (tree and leaves), mid-ground (street and lights), and background (sky), providing depth to the image.

Leading Lines: The lines from the street lights and their reflections on the ground can act as leading lines, directing the viewer's gaze through the photo.



Framing: The chain-link fence serves as a frame within the frame, leading the viewer's eyes toward the scene beyond and giving depth to the photo.

Rule of Thirds: The moon (or light source) is situated around the top third of the image, and the horizon line where the houses and streetlights are roughly aligned with the bottom third.

Contrast: The brightness of the moon and streetlights stands out starkly against the darker sky and landscape, especially in this black-and-white setting.

Leading Lines: The fence and the alignment of the streetlights and houses create subtle leading lines that guide the viewer's gaze through the image.

Repetition: The repeating pattern of the chain-link fence and the evenly spaced streetlights add rhythm to the composition.


Framing: The trees and playground equipment help frame the scene, guiding the viewer's attention to the lit area beyond.

Rule of Thirds: The playground equipment and fence are situated roughly in the bottom third of the image, while the sky and trees occupy the upper two-thirds.

Contrast: The brightly lit background contrasts sharply with the darker foreground, creating depth and drawing attention to the lighted area.

Leading Lines: The fence and its shadow, as well as the alignment of the trees, create lines that guide the viewer's gaze through the image.

Layering: The image has a clear foreground (playground and fence), mid-ground (trees and lit area), and background (sky), which gives a sense of depth to the photograph.


Fill the Frame: The dog occupies a significant portion of the frame, which captures the viewer's attention directly to the subject.

Texture: The texture of the grass provides an intricate background that contrasts with the smooth texture of the dog's fur.

Color Contrast: The rich green of the grass contrasts with the muted tones of the dog's fur and the striking blue of the dog's eyes.

Centered Composition: The dog's face is almost centered in the frame, making it the main focal point of the image.

Eye Contact: The dog's gaze directly into the camera establishes a connection between the subject and the viewer.
