Simplicity:
The reason that I chose this photo as simplicity is because you see how your photo is about and and it's simple to figure out who it's about. The background doesn't steal away from the focus or anything of that matter.
Rule of Thirds:
The reason that I chose this photo as my rule of thirds is because the main focus is at the top but it shows why they're there doing what they're doing. The American flag being folded with the standing fire department that's left from 9/11 as a member of the fire fighters is being removed.
Lines:
I chose this one for my lines because of the steel (I think it's steel) but the way the light shines on it leads to the man in the photo and beings him out.
Balence:
The way the two firefighters are standing and the cascet covered by the American flag make a triangular figure and it leads to "We Will Never Forget" so it gets the main point of the image.
Framing:
This is my image for framing cause one of the things that stick out most is the American flag in the background and the foreground is in all shadow.
