SImplicity The photo's background fits the object perfectly.	Simplicity The American flag is only surrounded by sky, which is the perfect background for a simplicity photo.	Lines The sun beams show lines coming from behind the trees. Beautiful photo, isn't it?
Lines The base of the candle is a pumpkin that shows lines .	Rule of Thirds The ball is in the upper right-hand corner of the photo. This shows angle perspective.	Rule of Thirds The chandelier if on some sort of an angle and isn't completely centered.
Balance He is balancing on a ladder with only one hand and one foot. Impressive!	Balance He is balancing on a pole in the front yard. And look, no hands!	Bad Merger He is standing in front of a busy cluttered background which doesn't give a clear view of the object that needs to be viewed, him.
Good Merger He is sitting and the background complements the picture more formally when he is sitting than when he was standing.	Bad Merger His background is too busy by all of the cars and trees surrounded behind him.	Good Merger This is the better merger because the person can be easily viewed with just one background. The car he is sitting on is his background, and he is the object to be viewed.
Framing Yes, he is making a goofy face, but he was cooperating with me so it works.	Framing He is holding a frame, hense the word framing. This is his better picture.
