The picture uses symmetry as the bus is placed in the center.

The rule of third seems to be used in this picture additionally: the police, the bus, and the blue smoke.

The composition might perhaps be a triangle composition as the bus is at the center, with the smoke being more around the outside and the police filling in at the bottom.

As the picture seems to be spontaneous, the police in it aren't positioned in any particular way, however the sheer amount of them demonstrates the passion of the supporters of the team.

In terms of symbolism, the blue smoke seems to be the most iconic part of the picture, as it shows pride and exemplifies how big of a part the supporters of a team might contribute to the football teams morale and performance. Additionally, we can see at the sides of the image people that we can assume are fans as the police seem to be making sure they are a certain distance away from the bus.

Although the bus is in a way in the background of the picture and is slightly out of focus, it is the main focus of the picture because of the size of it along with it being in the center.

The iconic blue colour associated with Everton dominates the image and shows the dedication of some fans.

The amount of police in the image additionally suggests that this is a large event that needs to be supervised and organised-they also add a element of danger as the police, specifically in the background seem to be in action.

To add context to the picture, Everton are placed 17th out of 20 in the Premier League, so this match was important to the team to get them out of the relegation zone. Despite their previous performances, the support for Everton remains as significant as ever as demonstrated in this picture.
