Compose Your Frame.
I took this photo at one of the side entrances of the Eccles building, I felt the triangular fountain structure in the middle of the path was perfect for a "Diagonal rule".It actually also has Index Vectors, it's tips pointing toward us and the opposite ends of the parking lot. The pathway is a perfect example of a Graphic Vector, guiding our eyes toward the parking lot as well as to the far end landscape. The light negative space of the sky I feel is a good contrast to the mountain.
The man, which I feel like I lucked out on, is a Motion Vector, he gives us the sensation of momentum, or in other words, the feeling that he is moving towards somewhere/something. I feel lucky that I caught him in mid-walk.
With the Rule of Thirds, it helps that the man is placed on the right of the photo instead of the middle, I think it helps draw more attention to him. With all the Diagonal lines going around with the side of the building wall next to him and the building glass (window?) on the opposite side, along with the sides of the fountain structure in the middle, it all helps guild the eyes throughout the photo. Also (and I hope I'm not tooting my own horn at this point) but I actually like how the electric pole post has a index vector both in the reflection and out of it, as if it's pointing in two directions.
