EXPLANATION

• The Rule of Thirds brings into focus the part of
  the picture that is mostly important or vital.
  For example in this photo, the boats edge and
  part of the sky will be in the centre of the
  division, the sky is the main backdrop of the
  picture so it is important that it is in sync
  with the boat. It helps to bring the subject into
  focus. I would conclude that this was taken from
  a low angle because the rocks are visible leading
  up to the side of the boat, this picture is
  expertly composed because it is slightly
  difficult to say if positive or negative spacing
  has been applied. I would deduce that both types
  of spacing have been used. The sun and the clouds
  have been included to fill out the endless space
  of the sky, instead of just taking a plain part
  of it, the ocean is reflecting the sun and I
  think it unifies the sky and the sea in a way.
• The irregular and rhythmic interruption of the
  rocks provide a perfect layout for the white
  boat, because the viewers eyes travel all over
  the picture, taking in every angle and line.
  Another thing I have picked up in this picture is
  the angle of the boat it is slightly tilted
  almost as if it was hastily dragged there. The
  blue material leaning out looks like it has been
  dropped there not necessarily arranged or kept.
  It is a coherent arrangement because there are
  different things leading to the fact that the
  composition is not intended to be perfect.
• I like the use of warm and cool colours yellow
  and orange are sharp and attractive and it puts
  the sun and the sea in the lightest tone range.
  Automatically the positioning of the boat places
  in the darker part of the picture and it pushes
  it into an easy viewing range, rocks are hard and
  cold and the way that they are excluded from the
  suns rays helps to bring out how it must feel
  like to hold one. Additionally this image is
  framed in an L shape as it efficiently displays
  different sides of the photo without partiality
  to important details. In simpler words the
  elements are framed centrally so it is not
  difficult to take in.
