 emphasis: there is a dominant object or thing that immediately catches the eye. (the crane) if you see anything else first please consult a doctor ;)
 symetry : it simply means that the visual weight of the photographic elements are equally distributed on both sides of the imaginary central axis in a photograph.
unity:the over all arrangment of the photographic elements in a regular and consistent manner.
