1. Describe the Photograph:
Abraham Lincoln under a tent with two dandy fellows. there are trees in the background with a hiding man. There are some holes in the tent making it look used or worn.
2. Reflect/ Interpret the Photograph:
The man in the middle and left look out of place. While that dude in the background is hard to see. The man on the right looks out of place. the president is getting ready to state or make a law after a battle. You can clearly see that their was a battle due to some of the holes in the tent and the messed up trees and dirt in the background.
3. Formal art elements are used in the Photograph:
This photo uses a sym balance starting from the middle of the tent. two people standing next to the president. It is also using blur due to the background being all blurred. Also framing. The rope is a leading line that brings our eyes to the president.
