A photo that follows the rules of thirds to suggest conflict

For the image that suggest agreement it was very important that the body language and the composition would show friendliness as figurines cant change their face expressions and both of them are stuck in a grumpy determined look. For the composition  I made them do a fist bump as its  a friendly action and its a good focal point inside the middle square. This means that the fist bump will be one of the first things someone will see, affirming the friendly nature of the photo. Because they are figurines their arms don't move as far as normal humans but that wasn't a problem as I put them as close I could so they could be inside the middle square to show that they are in the same page. For this to happen i had to make them bump with different hands which also made them be more open to the camera with their body language showing a bit of trust with each other.

The LEGO Batman Movie, February 10, 2017

This is one of the final scene that come after Batman having a big revelation about what family is, what he is willing to sacrifice to keep it and the fact that everything is not about him. The rule of third is used here to show the bond and character development. Batman and Robin are in the middle square putting focus into their father-son relationship which is one of the focal points of the movie yet the rest of the family is still shown but not in any of the hots spots. Batman is separated from the rest of the family by the right vertical line showing that fact, that there is separation because of future sacrifice. Batman over all take a lot less space of the frame, and his eyes are not aligned which drive home the fact that the moment is not about him.
