Balanced Composition
I chose the photo because it's absolutely beautiful. From the plume of smoke with the Shuttle at the head, disappearing into the clouds, on its journey to space, to the composition of putting it right into the middle, somewhat reminiscent of jack and the bean stalk, growing, taking Jack (The shuttle) to another world, high above the clouds, to the dramatic post processing and just contrast of the image. I feel that it truly captures the essence of the American Space Program, and is a perfect example of balanced composition.

Converging Lines
I chose this picture to represent the converging lines genre of photo composition, purely due to the fact that it has so many converging lines, and at the same time tells a story of 2 teenage women,

Frame Within A Frame
This image is a great example of a frame within a frame. This picture spoke to me because of the pure emotion that it emotes. It truly captured the essence of the Olympics, the raw emotion that goes into them.

S-Curve
This photo, although may be a graphic image, truly demonstrate the S-Curve in a photo.

Rule Of Thirds

This photo has the main focal point of the image at the top right, not in the center, hence utilizing the rule of thirds.
