Rule of Thirds
This picture follows the rule of thirds pretty well, my dad is the focal point of the picture, and he's not quite center but he's not completely to one side either. The horizon line is off centered in the frame as well, which breaks up the typical "horizon is smack dab in the middle of the frame" photos that you constantly see from people's vacation albums.
The Diagonal Rule
This picture is interesting because it was taken on a pier and the railing is moves your eye through the frame to the left, in addition to this the ocean horizon line is at a slant headed in the same direction as the pier. This makes it interesting to look at.
Vectors
In class we discussed how a subject's eyes can serve as a vector because they can lead the viewer's eyes through the frame as well. I think it's interesting in this photo because his body is facing the right but his eyes are looking toward the opposite side of the frame.
