I took this photo when I landed in the long beach airport. The landscaping and design of the terminal was amazing so I had to stop to try and take a cool picture. This airport is very different because it's an open air airport. There were lots of opportunities with this design to compose an interesting picture. When I took the picture I had the rule of thirds in mind and I tried to put everything in a third that I could. I think I achieved this by using the diagonals of the palm trees to create a path that falls in the right third. Also the tops of the bushes are settled into the top third of the frame.
The diagonals were also very strong in this photo. The palm trees lead your eye to the back of the photo almost creating a path to what is the baggage claim area. There is also the diagonal created by the actual walkway that takes you to that point as well.
There are many graphic and index vectors that further reinforce all of the other elements. The walls of the building, The bushes that draw your eye over to the path, the actual path created by the palm trees. The trunks of each palm tree are all graphic vectors leading the eye up towards the leading lines.
