Using Emotion.

Emotion is a very important feature to convey in photography. A picture displaying intense emotion allows the viewer to be able to relate to what the subject may be feeling. It makes a photo more personal and provides a much bigger impact. It can be captured most directly through a person's facial features. Action can also display a person's emotion. It is common in photography to use rule of thirds or fill the frame with a blur the background effect to intensify the emotions even more. I really like my example picture because it shows the bond between a father and his daughter. Fill the frame with blur the background effect is also applied. The actions of the father-daughter pair also help depict the setting of the photo. It can be concluded that the girl is having a final dance with her father at her wedding reception. You can also assume they are in Hawaii or some other tropical location.  The father's face exudes  sorrow, loss, love, and bittersweet emotions.
