My Photo walk!

So recently I went on a photo walk with my photo journalism class. On this walk we were told to take pictures that represent a few of the techniques we learned in class.
Techniques:
Leading Lines- which are real or implied lined that lead the viewers eye thru the photo.
Rule of Thirds- which is where you put a tic-tac-toe like grid on your picture and the focal area is in one of the intersections.
Interesting Perspective and Angles- these may include bird's eye and worm's eye.
Framing- is using a secondary element to highlight or emphasize the subject.
Appropriate focus- is where the subject of the photo is in focus but distracting or non-essential elements are not .


 I like this photo because the leading lines from the pathways and the buildings two levels. These lines lead into the focal point which is the globe in the center. These lines drastically add to the quality of this picture.
 This picture uses framing. The holes in the bench frame the two subjects exquisitely. It also uses the rules of thirds, in a sense, because one of the subjects is not directly in the middle but off to one side.
 This photo shows excellent use of leading lines. The lines not only come from the very obvious staircase, but also from the light rays coming through the window. The lines lead to the center of the photo which is somewhat a focal point.
