 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.

photography in the 20th century.

talking about everything that happened within the realm of photography is a rather long topic seeing how most of it happened in this time period. but a few key things would be all the technological advances in the camera such as digital larger film etc... it was also starting to be produced on a mass scale so even the poor man could afford to take pictures when before it was a rich man's hobby. the profession as well boomed and the application of photography gradually increased to where now it is wide spread. a bunch of pioneers in the subject were born in this time as well such as william henry fox. they created everything that we today know as photography.
