Simplicity 

All the background is mainly white so you really

focus on paul and the equation he's doing up on the board.

Rule of Thirds

Sergio is to the left of the photo so that makes it the rule

of thirds.

Lines

The metal attached to the chairs forms lines.

Framing

the wallpaper above and the 2 kids frame that asian kid in the 

center of the picture.

Balance

This picture is an example of balance because

the background and everything balances the photo

out.

Avoiding Mergers

This picture is an example of avoiding mergers because 

the kid to the right's body is caught off.

Filling the Frame

This colors in this picture are very balanced and warming.

The girls are doing a science project, and a chemical reaction

has occurred and it makes the photo look really cool with the

specs or water in the air. This is a really good shot.

This photo defiantly captures the eye.

Action or Emotion

This picture shows a lot of emotion simple by the facial expressions

and hand gestures. This is a goofy picture & everyone is smiling

having a good time. This picture looks like it was just taken for a class 

or something, and it came out very well.

The Story

This picture tells the best story to me because it

seems like something has brought all of these people

together. Something or someone united all of

those kids, making this picture look empowering.

This picture reminds me of those movies where those 

teachers help struggling students become better people,maybe

the story behind this picture is something like that.

40 most powerful photos

Rich Lam

I chose this picture because the lighting caught my 

attention. My other main focus on the picture is the

couple kissing, i find this picture really cute. I dislike

the man that is in the shot because he is in the way.

but this shot is movie perfect.

Yuniko Nakao

I chose this picture because i am an animal lover and 

i find this picture sad. i think that this picture 

includes avoiding mergers, because the persons body is

cut out of the picture but it helps focus the shot on whats 

important

Aaron Thompson

This Photo caught my attention because it focuses really

well and its shot at a very good angle. You can see theres 

a lot of emotion and a story behind this picture.

9/11 Avoiding Mergers

Avoiding Mergers

This photo is an example of "Avoiding Mergers" 

because in this photo it cuts people out of the shot,

so basically half of their body is in the picture which

is not good.

9/11 Frame

Framing

This picture is an example of "Framing"

because the 2 buildings on the left and the right

frame the building in the middle, focussing the

picture on that building.

9/11 Balance

Balance

This shot is an example of "Balance" Because

everything in the photo is balanced.

9/11 Lines

building is angled focussing the picture on it.

9/11 Rule of thirds

Rule of Thirds

This picture is an example of "Rule of thirds"

because the focus is the statue but it is not in the

middle, it is on one side of the photo and the 

lights to the right lead over to the statue.
