Image Analysis

King Charles paid his respects at a service for remembrance at Westminster Abbey.

This shot is a low angle, wide shot giving us an almost level (with King Charles) perspective as he places the wreath. We are not looking down at him nor looking up so this is a sign of respect. The red colour of the poppies is incredibly vibrant which is symbolic of remembrance for fallen soldiers and respect for veterans. The red colour symbolising the war and legacy is very bright and prominent in this photo. Although it is only taking up a small part of the image, it is still a main focus and isn't ignored in any way. The Prince of Wales in the background is standing respectfully and formally. This shows how the event is strictly to remember and reflect. He is looking down which is also a sign of loss/ grief so he is taking the service seriously and showing care. The photo could also be classed as a two shot as the rule of thirds is being used to line King Charles' left side to the left line, and to line the Prince of Wales directly in the right line. There are more people in the background who are wearing uniforms as loyalty for the reason of the service, they are a blur in the back which also confirms the importance of King Charles' presence.
