I really like this photo by Henri Cartier-Bresson. I like this photo for multiple reasons. One is how the trees framing the path are a little bit off-center. I also like how the road looks like it is going on forever and the trees make it seem that the road leads to a new world. He is using the rule of thirds because he has two-thirds sky and one-third land. The road also creates movement in the photo. For me it looks like the trees on either side of the road converge into one big tree protecting the road.

I really like this photo taken by Jean Gaumy. I really like how this picture is kind of "in the moment". He was on a train when he took this picture, and that's another thing I like is the slight blurriness that is in the picture. It makes the picture feel more surreal. I also like how the trees frame the flooded river. It directs your eye to the river. The line of tress in the background also creates movement in the picture along with the blurriness. I like how everything is really dark and the trees are almost black.

I really like this photo taken by Paul Greenberg. I really like this photo for multiple reasons. One reason the the contrast betweent the light-colored VW bug and the darker background. It brings my eye to the photo. I also really like how the car is right in the center of the picture. This picture makes me think that there is light and hope even in dark situations. This picture really catches my eye and makes me want to get a print of this picture and put it in my room.

I really like this photo that was taken by Ferdinando Scianna. My favorite part about this picture is the cloud. The dark cloud continues down until it almost touches the guy's head. The guy is also looking up into the clouds so it makes me think of a kind of circle. I also like how the man in this picture is following the thirds rule and that there is two-thirds sky and one-third man. The subject, who is looking up into the sky, has an almost hopeful look on his face which makes me think that he is hoping for something to happen that will turn his day around. The man in this photo is the writer Jorge Luis Borges.

This photo was taken by Dave Hill. I really like this picture. I like this picture because of the editing. It makes the picture seem almost dream-like. To me it also kind of looks like a painting. I also like how you can see every detail perfectly. The lighting is coming from the back and I really like how it accentuates the right angles in the peoples face. One thing I like about the photo is the smoke coming from the cigar which to me looks like a sign of wealth as he is talking down upon the worker. It seems like the rich guy thinks he is hot stuff and he can yell at his workers. If you want to see more pictures by dave hill, you can click here: http://www.davehillphoto.com/

I really like this photo that was taken by Abelardo Morell. I think this picture is a little bit abstract in a way, and that is one of the reasons why I like this photo. I really like how the bookcase is off center. I also like how in the background there is the pretty scenery of Florence. I think that there is a contrast between the indoor bookcase and the outside. I like how the bookcase is not super organized and that it is kind of messy and chaotic because it also contrasts with the serenity of Florence. At first I thought that it was windows behind the bookcase but it is actually the background projected on the wall. A little thing I like is that if you look at the biggest picture sitting on the bookcase, it is a picture of a house. I think that the picture blends in really well with the projected background and if the house was a part of the projection, it would be a really great frame.

This photo was taken by Alex Majoli in Latvia. I really like this picture for a couple of reasons. The first is I really like the lighting. It makes the picture mysterious and it brings your eye to the building. I also like how it is in black and white. It makes the photo feel like it should belong in a old black-and-white movie. The road is slanted in this photo and it creates movement. If you look in the upper righthand corner. There is that single window that it lit. I really like this part of the picture because it adds a little "spice" to the picture.
