I love the yellow color in this picture. This is a picture with analogous composition because the colors used are next to each other on the color wheel, like the yellow and browns used. I love how you can see so much detail in this picture. You can see the water droplets on the yellow flower, the pollen in the center of the flower in the right hand corner, and the lines on the shell of the snail. I love how the photographer included just enough of the center of the flower to create a reference and add more color. I also really like where the snail is, not directly in the center, but in a place where the lines in the rule of thirds would cross. The yellow color near the snail is the brightest shade of yellow in this picture to draw the attention to the snail. I think this is a fabulous picture.

I think this is a fantastic frame picture. The architecture or curtains frames the scene perfectly. I love how there are two scenes. Once scene is a bride with two children. I love how the photographer captured the tops of the four chairs. The second scene is the city and buildings. I think this is a great picture with a very distinct frame.

I really like this picture and the way the sun hits her face. Instead of showing her whole face, the sun lightens it enough to where a little more than half of it is shown. I also like how the frames from the window come together where the lines of thirds would come. I like the background because it is different. Instead of taking a picture in an old and antique location like a lot of fashion pictures, this background is a city and parking lot.

I think the shadow in this picture is fantastic. I love how the shadow is very defined and noticeable and all the intricate designs and swirls are evident. I think it was a good choice to put the picture in black and white because it focuses more on the shadow. I think this is a great picture.

       I really like this picture because of the colors. I love how the the lights from signs on buildings reflects colors on the ground. The ground is wet becasue of rain, and that is obvious because the black figure is holding an unbrella. I love how the photographer captured the colors on the ground.

      I really like this picture because of the contrast. I love how the blue and green scarf/headdress matches color of the eyes so perfectly. I also like how the eyes are the center of the focus and everything else is covered up by the scarf, yet the eyes aren't looking straight at the camera. The color of the scarf makes the eyes pop and become the center of attention, and it also frames the eyes. I think this is a great picture and I love the blue green color in this.

          I really like this picture because I love all the different colors, patterns, and sizes of the hot air balloons. I love the way the sky looks, with the sun setting in the background, but its not in the middle and follow the thirds rule. I also really like how the two roads meet where the sun is setting and i love the way the clouds look. I think this is a great picture and I love all the different colors and places of the hot air balloons, how some are on the ground, some up high in the sky, and some right in the middle. One of my favorite parts of this picture is the sunset and clouds. I think this is a great picture!

Photograph #13

Photographer: Chase Jarvis

I like this picture because of the colors and patterns. I love the blue, green, and pink together, and I also really like the editing in this picture. I like how the sky is a really light blue, but the grass is a darker color and not lime green. I like the pattern of the skirt and how the main focus is on the skirt, but it is not a straight on shot. The angle is slightly turned and I also like how the arms are in the picture as well.
