The collection is called Evidencia and is a search for answers in Mexico for the many people who went missing. The location of this image is the hills of Iguala which is near Sierra Madre a town nearby. This image is of a landscape shot that captures the human-made road and all the plant life on this hill. Since this image has to do with his search for answers so it’s where many of the local town folk go in search of those who either went missing or are currently missing due to cartel activity in the area. Christopher Gregory Rivera captures just how often the road is used and just how big this hill is and how it seems to go on forever. I feel a sense of disconnect from what I am used to seeing everyday this is a change of scenery for me since I don’t see much forestation or human-made roads often in the city. I like the image because it goes to show a nice depth of field and really goes to show just how far/big something is.

The use of leading lines is present in this image because your eyes are lead to the middle of the page with the human-made road. The road also seems to reappear again leading your eyes deeper into the image. symmetry can also be seem slightly present in this image, it can be seen on both sides of the human-made road where you can see plant growth but on one side more than the other. The rule of third is also present, this can be noticed by the way the pictures guides your eyes to the middle making that road the subject of the image.
