Landscape: Interior

One area of interest is the bar across the page, which shows very strong foreshortening as it travels across the page. Another area of interest is the bar holding it up to the bottom left of the page, the darker tone and the detail on it bring more focus to it. It’s also at an interesting angle as two sides of it are visible. Similarly another area of interest, the rectangular cage of the lift which is also darker and more detailed and likewise has two-point perspective on it. 

Another interesting quality this picture has is a very high use of the rule of thirds. The lift cage shows one line, while the top edge of the top floor railing shows a horizontal line. The close-by bar roughly travels along to other horizontal line, likewise the pillar at the end of it helps create the implication of the other vertical along with the feet. The different areas of the image roughly fit within the thirds. One significant point of interest and perhaps the focal point is at the meeting of the bar with the pillar although as they create a point the focal point could arguably be the head of the human figure, as the lines point to him.
