The rule of thirds is used in this photo because the dog's head is on two intersecting lines. You'll notice that I put the dog in focus, with the back ground out of focus to also play with the theme "focused". The dog is focused on something, but the photo does not show what, so it creates more interest and makes the dog's head a focal point. Also, there's good contrast between lights and darks in this picture.

Word: Hallucination

Shutter Speed: 1/1000

Aperture: f/2.8

Leading lines was the main element in this picture. The trees are surrounding the subject and the smoke is coming from the subject's head as well. I think the colors in this photo pull the viewers in because there are a majority of neutral colors with a popping blue coming from the subject. The darkness of the photo was intentional for the theme of "hallucination".. To make things more mysterious. Also, rule of thirds is shown where the subjects head lays on the bottom line of thirds. Hallucination: an experience involving the apparent perception of something not present. Obviously, the subject is hallucinating. She is alone and sees smoke.
