Image analysis and proposition

 Here we have a picture of Metallica, the first thing that has drawn my attention is the eye line of all of the band members. We can see that the lead singer is on the right, his eye line is in the top third, although the rule of seeing everyone left to right, he  is also placed closest to the camera. Everyone is the picture is looking in the distance, wearing sunglasses so it gives a sort of mystery to whether or not we can see if they are looking at us. Meanwhile everyone else is in the middle of the screen, so it looks like they were positioned for the most important member of the band closest to the screen.
Jimi Hendrix - Here we can see his eye line is in the top third, however he is smiling. So he gives off the impression that he is not trying to come off as powerful in this photo. Also, he is not central in the frame, his body is not even facing the camera. He is merely enjoying his guitar as we can see from his body language and facial expressions.
