Hurricane Ike

Lines
The docks get your attention then it leads back into the street with vehicles everywhere. I like the waves with the white salt water hitting the shore being able to see where the water stops at.

Simplicity
The rest of the picture is all completely faded and isn't facing towards the camera, nor is the person but you have a clear shot to his back. He is in the center of the picture so its simple and catches your attention.

Framing
The sign of the highway above all the wreckage frames what happened.
The reason i chose this picture is considering how only one side of the highway was effected entirely. Just a large amount of different objects.
