This photograph is an example of the composition of line of sight, as there are several lines leading into the picture. What makes this picture effective is that the sun sines behind the fence so you can see the shadow lines.

Hmmh. Where is this?

This is an effective photograph of  a pattern. The position of the camera show the stairs at a straight angle, and is a plain shot of and undisturbed, yet imperfect staircase. This photograph could be a better one without the the combination of the shadow and the glare of the flash

 This is a contrast photograph. It is effective because it follows the composition of the rule of thirds. The dirt behind the leaf causes the colors to stand out drawing much attention to the vibrance in the colors of the leaf.

This photograph is of a disrupted pattern. It is effective because the pattern is obvious, and so is the disruption even though it is subtle.

Sandy-- My photograph

I took this photograph in the South Beach area after Hurricane Sandy. Although this does not follow many photographic compositions, it is evident that people affected by the storm were fed up with the order that things went about in such a way that they'd write on their homes.

This is a a photograph taken of a woman after Hurricane Sandy. Although we cannot see her entire face, it is evident that she is in some type of stress. The way that she has her hands on top of her head indicate her feelings of sorrow.  Despite the fact that the picture is only of her, I can still tell that she has been deeply affected by the hurricane.

This photograph uses an ISO of 1600, and was taken in auto mode.

I used part of a police barricade to make my "frame". The clear, dull sky & the white buildings set a nice scene for the photo to be taken. The focus that was captured on the frame stands out a lot, but the pole of the field goal takes away from the attention that should be attracted to the boy and girl. Also, they're both in a somewhat awkward position so the photograph makes less of a statement. ultimately, this is an ineffective photo.

This is an effective portrait photograph because as minor as it may seem, it captures the cup more than anything else in the shot as well as capturing the rule of thirds composition. The lighting shines in a portion of the right side of the photograph, which gives the cup an image of dividing the portions of light.

I love the softness of the leaf under the sun and up against her [Imari's] skins. I also like how her bracelets add a bit of playfulness to the photo.

I don't really like this "rule of thirds" picture because it's too busy.

I kind of like this rule of thirds picture because oft he way that the field goal and soccer net stand out, and because they are not directly in the center. 

I like this picture because I like the focus on the fence...
