Caption and Evaluation preactice

1. Tim Castro attempts to throw a Molotov cocktail at New York policemen. He said that he was a little on edge due to medication, and getting fed up with wall street.

 This photo uses depth. I know it uses depth because it shows foreground, background, and mid-ground.
 This photo uses the rule of thirds because if you were to put imaginary lines on this  photo the mans face would be on a point of interest.
This photo shows repetition through the constant repeating of the candles being lit and thrown in the air.
