The rule of thirds creates an even effect when framing the image. The lines in the grid help align the rock in the image to fit in with the rest of the picture on the right. The left image creates too much space around the rock which looks less aligned. On the right the layers of the background are more aligned with the lines and dots which creates a better effect. By placing the rock on the intersecting point, this creates a more dramatic image.
Leading lines
Leading lines are lines in an image which direct to something in the distance. The closer from the distance they are, the wider the lines are apart. For example they could be used on a road to show the distance it carries on for. Also on a field showing a pattern of lines which also show distance. Leading lines are primarily used to guide the viewer to an interesting subject.
Symmetry
Symmetry in photography consists of two equal parts either vertically or horizontally. In symmetry the two parts are usually identical. Symmetry also creates balance for example when looking down the middle and seeing to halves.
Geometric Shapes
In the image on the left I like because the contrast of black and white brings out the multiple shapes in the image. There are many triangles and also a high number of squares.
In the image to the right the stairs show geometric shapes including rectangles that follow down to the cyclist. This includes each individual step and rectangle within the railings.
Framing
Framing is used to create an effect around the outside of the image. It also makes the center of the image the main focus point within the framed image.
