Lone Soldier

The first word I thought of was Epic. I thought of the soldier walking back from a mission but he was the only one who could still walk back. The photographer of this photo makes good use of the mist/fog that is flowing past the soldier as he walks back. He uses the rule of thirds because the soldiers center is placed about a third of the way down and to the left. I also think that if this wasn't black and white it wouldn't be as epic. The lack of color makes it more dramatic. The photographer of this photo did a good job of capturing the moment at the right time.

Learning to think like an artist means: Looking at things more closely than most people do
Finding beauty in everyday things and situations
Making new connections between different things and ideas
Going beyond ordinary ways of thinking and doing things
Looking at objects in different ways in order to generate new perspectives
Taking risks and exposing yourself to possible failure
Arranging items in new and imaginative ways
Working hard and at the edge of your potential
Persisting where others may give up
Concentrating your effort and attention for long periods of time
Dreaming and fantasizing
Using old ideas to create new ones
Doing something simply because it’s interesting and personally challenging to do
