Out of the variety of shots I took this one is one of my favorites due to its composition. Although the face of the statue (Martin Luther King Jr.) isn't in view his disposition, his stance, and his attitude are nicely displayed. I like this photo not only because his character is easily identified but we get to share in his point of view. On a more technical level lines, patterns and repetition are prevalent in this shot. The lines of the bench and their shadows create a rhythm in the photo that is repeated by the flags in the background. The direction of the statues head also leads our eye up and to the right similar to how the flags and the bench lines carry us that way.
It could be improved by possibly changing my angle to avoid the statue's shadow interference as well as a straighter approach to accentuate the pattern of the flags even more. The lighting was a bit overpowering as well but didn't necessarily ruin the shot. Over all I chose this photo because I think it has good movement and a good sense of character despite the lack of intense detail.
