After going to class and learning about vectors and the rule of thirds I was able to take this photo and look at it with a more critical eye. The steps at the bottom of the photo draw the eye toward the center and the clouds are in the opposite direction they almost create a vector between the clouds and the steps. I used the rule of thirds when I was composing this because I tried to get the light post to line up on one of the axis and then the light was almost at one of the intersections of the thirds.
I got lucky with this cloud that happened to be coming in the direction that helped me with the vectors. The diagonal lines that are created by both the steps and the clouds draw the eye to the center of the photo which happens to be dark and then the light stands out in the clouds with a vertical line drawing up toward the light.
