This photo was taken by Annie Leibovitz. The subject of this photo is the famous singer/songwriter Pete Seeger. The first reason I like this picture is the contrast in colors. There is the gray/blue/black hues of the background and the the orange/red of his pants. It adds a pop to the picture. I also like how Pete Seeger is following a rule of thirds. Also the islands behind Seeger frame him and makes your eye be drawn to him. Pete Seeger is a famous folk-singer so having the banjor around his body symbolizes his tie to music and his great influence on folk music.
