The subject of this photo is an old man at a track meet. He is in a very heroic pose, so i felt that taking a picture of him at an upward angle would make him look like he was towering over the track importantly. I put it through a filter in photoshop to make it black and white with a graininess around him. This makes it look more old fashioned, and the graininess highlights the man because he's in perfect focus. The lines on the track and ceiling lead to him. To take the picture I crouched on the ground. The effect this has is that the subject seems larger in proportion to his background. All of the elements in this photo draw your eyes to the towering importance of this man. It makes him seem confident and larger than life.
