Hi ...
Just a few images from our day in Old Town.
First, the basics — A window in static placement.
Next, the window still in a static placement ... but with an added anchor and some bilateral symmetry. Now the window in active placement, with an anchor that is split.
I like this one.
A cap and anchor makes it easy to read ... and with the two main elements sitting separately.
The eye wanders back & forth to look for a connection.

The sloping boardwalk makes this image seem edgy and uncomfortable.
There is conflict between the elements as they aren't all sloping together.

He's the most powerful element, drawing attention away from the sloping walkway.
I think he's even a bit un-nerving.
Then it jumps to the boy, and we wonder why he is there.
Only then does the eye take the time to survey
The rest of the image, and sample the rhythm of the other elements.
The anchor and cap add some stability.
The eye hits the red long-johns first,
but we don't know from where they hang.
Then the boy. He's grieving!
The eye darts back to the clothing,
but then notices the shadow behind it.
And suddenly the image is a bit suggestive and disturbing.
Hey, this weeks homework assignment is endless!
I gotta get to work!
