                                                                         Simplicity This photo shows simplicity because of that exactly, it is simple. From everything that is happening in the moment, the photographer managed to capture this. In some way, it is calming. The way the man is frozen in time. The Rule of Thirds  These photos convey the rule of thirds because the subject is in the side of the photos.
