Picture #13

This photograph was taken by Andrew Phelps. I like this picture because of the different shades of blue in the sky. I also like the scattered birds which give a good contrast to the blue along with the white clouds.

Picture #12

This picture was taken by Andrew Phelps. I like the partial reflection from the lake and the abstract colors. I like the calm effect of the snow and the white sky.

Picture #11

This picture was taken by Leonard Freed after he won his Nobel Peace Prize. MLK day was yesterday, and I enjoyed all of the videos of his speeches. Reverend King affected the lives of all African-Americans and this picture shows the true generosity of his works.

Picture #9

This picture was taken by Britta Jaschinski. I like this picture because of the contrast between the background and the cheetah. The editing makes the cheetah stand out.

Picture #8

This picture was taken by Peter Marlow in Italy. I like this picture because the lines of the door block the light to create a cool effect. This photo uses the rule of thirds very well.

Picture #7

This picture was taken by Stephen Gill. I like this picture because it has a lot of depth and it first, I wasn't sure what it was. This picture has a good contrast of colors and I like the focused and unfocused material.
