5- how does the photographer use photographic elements. The photographer Jim Zuckerman uses composition and leading lines in this photograph and I think this is because he wants to bring the viewers attention to the river that is flowing straight through the photograph although, the rocks are also accentuated in this photo because of this. The leading line helps the viewer to see the whole picture.
