Image number 13 is here and comes courtesy of Marcel of Aktuelle Kamera.  I am a sucker for repetition in any photograph, and this particular image does not disappoint in that category!

Rule of Thirds

I am not a huge fan of “following the rules”, but you usually can’t miss when you apply the “Rule of Thirds” to your work.  It helps move the viewer around the image, and Marcel’s done a great job of doing just that in this photograph.

Brighter Foreground

The brighter foreground helps to define what is important in the image and tends to draw your eye.  I found when looking at this photograph for the first time, that I spent quite a bit of time looking at the person, and them examining the detail in the foreground, after that the darker background drew me further into the image.
The inclusion of a nice bright t-shirt doesn’t hurt either!

Human Element

I think that this picture would not make near the impression that it does without the inclusion of the “human touch”.  The inclusion of people in any images helps create scale.  Without the person in this image you would have no idea just how massive this stadium really is.
