           I really like the angle and texture of this picture. The angle allows provides a great view of the textrue of the wood, and can see the cracks in the wood. The angle also makes the bridge look like it goes on forever. I love the colors in this picture and how the very end of the sky is a light blue and the wood leading up to the end of the pier is a lighter color.

I love the shadow and patterns in this picture, as well as it being in black in white. This is such a great angle because it captures the pattern of the tiles on the roof and the pattern of stone on the ground next to the house. This makes about two thirds of the picture a pattern. The other third is a shadow of a man walking. This really adds to the picture by being able to see the man much more clearly, creating the main focus of the picture on him. If the shadow wasn't there, it would be a picture of a roof and the man would barely be visible. I also love the angle of this picture, capturing it from up high and turning the camera so the street is not straight, but rather slanted.

           I really like the reflection in this picture. Its a very clear reflection, and I love the angle of it too. Since the glasses are slightly curved, it gives a nice reflection, rounded at little up at the top. I also like how the figure in the reflection is split in half by the middle of the glasses. It think it is better that the picture doesn't include the full image of the object in the reflection because it creates uncertainty and allows the audience to interpret it in different ways.

        I really like how the photographer captured the fear in the dogs eye and the scared and timid nature of the dog. I like how he only took the picutre from the waist down of the kids to draw attention to the dog. I also really like there are so many different patterns. The girl's skirt and a lunch box both have stripes and the dog has spots. I love the fact that this is in black and white and that there are old automobiles in the background.

I really like the reflection and color of this picture. I love how even with the reflection into the water, the color of the house is still there. I think the lily pads and the grass add more color to the picture as opposed to just a picture of the reflection.

 I love this picture because of the background. I love how there is a bride dressed in all white and her hair has a big white bow in it, making her look like she is dressed for a wedding. In contrast, the background it dark and i love the colors like how the brick wall is in the back and she is sitting on a rusy ledge. This is one of my favorite pictures.

             I really like the lighting and shadows in this picture. I love how the gates are darker and create a distinct shadow and how you can also see a shadow of a tree. The shadow by the open gate door is very detailed, being able to see the decorations on the side. I like how the house and trees in the background are much lighter than the gate because it draws attention to the gate and shadow. I think this is a great picture that utilizes the concept of shadows very well.

I love the simplicity of this picture and how you can see the one line of sand falling from the top of the hour glass. I love the way you can see how it falls to make a mountain and pile up on the other half. The black and white also creates simplicity. I really like how the photography focused on only half of the hour glass instead of the whole thing, creating a focus on only the falling sand. I think this is a great picture.
