The primary subject of this photo is the horse and rider, which is weighted towards the bottom center. The fence creates a horizontal alignment for the vineyards, mountains, and sky, which are the background environment of the photograph. The photograph also conveys static balance which means the viewer's eye may take in everything at once. The symmetry of the fence creates a pattern which adds to the overall dynamic balance of the photo.
