“The Steerage” by Alfred Stieglitz.  Without looking this up, I remember that there were many triangular points of reference.  The white hat, the Y pole, and the mother’s white scarf, for instance.  The heads of the mother and her 2 children is another.  The plank’s start and end points are 2 corners of a triangular shape with the top left and bottom right corners of the frame being the third. 

I think this was also not a set-up frame.  It was on a ship going to Ellis Island, or arrival at Ellis Island.  For a random snap shot…what a fantastic frame.  (I was right.  Per wiki:

While on his way to Europe Stieglitz took what is recognized not only as his signature image but also as one of the most important photographs of the 20th century. Aiming his camera at the lower class passengers in the bow of the ship, he captured a scene he titled The Steerage.

Nazroo, a mahout (elephant driver), poses for a portrait while taking his elephant, Rajan, out for a swim in front of Radha Nagar Beach in Havelock, Andaman Islands. Rajan is one of the few elephants in Havelock that can swim, so when he is not dragging timber in the forest he is used as a tourist attraction. The relationship between the mahout and his elephant usually lasts for their entire lives, creating an extremely strong tie between the animal and the human being.
