Bill Clinton makes an aside to daughter Chelsea during a speech by Hillary Clinton

Looking back through the past 24 hours of the Reuters picture file, this picture by Keith Bedford of the Clinton family at a fund raising rally in New York caught my eye. It is a classic Golden Section composition, based around the intersection of the thirds.

The photographer plays with the relative sizes of Hillary and Bill Clinton perhaps hinting at a shift in their relative importance, but although Hillary towers over the others; the eye is drawn inexorably back to the former President.
