Why you picked that photo?What technical (composition) features made it a good photo?

I picked this photo beacuase it has a good view of the whole girl coming to the end of the line.They took a goog angle of it because you can see the the people on the side clapping and none of them get caught off.This picture shows simplicity.

I picked this picture because the coach looks like hes telling the boi not to give up and to keep trying and the boy looks like he well keep trying until he gets it.I like the view of how the camera took it because it shows the important thing which is the good view of the man and the boy and how there suppose to be.The didnt cut off anything important.This picture fallows the Balance cause you can cut right down the picture.

I picked this photo beacause its a good photo of the boy keep trying and not giving up.This picture follows the rules of Avoiding Mergers. Because the weight is far enough away from his face that it doesn't really distract who ever looks at it which is the viewer.

I choose this picture cause i think it looks really cool how there all in different colors and they all go in a straight line.SO this picture shows balance because the lines lead all the way to the front in a straight formed line and you can cut the picture in half and have lines on both sides.

This is a really pretty picture cause of the pose of the girl and how she looks in it.This picture shows simplicity in it.And i like the eyes of the girl.

I choose this picture cause i like it because the horse looks really pretty riding threw the snow.And the snow makes the horse and the person stand out in the middle i think this picture shows simplicity.

This picture is Rules of thirds because the cables follow the mountain in a straight line.And i like the picture cause the mountains look very pretty and white and snowy.

This picture is really cool cause the little girl has beautiful pretty blue eyes and the crayons go in a line to her eye so i think that this picture is a good picture of lines.

!.The University of Wisconsin created admissions application for their school which had a cover of only white people. They clipped a picture of Diallo a lady who was black and added it to the picture to show the ethnicity of the school. Shabazz later found out as well as some others, and said they should've done a collage.

B.
Explain why you think what University of Wisconsin-Madison was wrong or allowable.
I think it's both wrong! I think it's wrong because they shouldn't just take a picture of a black student without his permission like that and add it as they could've done a collage but.

List the changes that were made to the model's face in the computer.
In your opinion, explain if you think it is ethically ok to change a person's appearance like this in a photo.
Under what circumstances is it worse than others?
What types of changes are ok, and what aren't?
Explain what you think the differences are between fashion photography and photojournalism.
What relationship does each have to reality, and how does this affect the ethics of each.
The changes that were made to the model were that they first put on make up and covered up her acne.They fixed her hair they colored it too.And they mayed some changes with the computer by lowering her shoulders.lifting up her eyebrows a little,pushed her hair back and mayed her eyes and mouth a little bigger.
I think that it is okay to change a persons's appearance beacuse thats what modeling is all about they make you look pretty by changing your appearance..Well i think that the worse circumstances are that maybe the girl whos modeling might feel a little sad because they are changing her appearance.The differences from fashion photography and photojournalism is that the fashion there telling you which way to look and how to smile and they put make up on and everything and the photohournalism they just take a picture of something that looks normal and they arent telling you how to do and what to do your just being your self.Well the reality for fashion photography is that the model is still her even if she has make up on its still her and for photojournalism too because on that one your just you and your not modeling for no one.

RULES OF THIRDS:this piscture on the left shows us a view of how the city looks like after the attack.if you cut this picture in thirds you well always get a good view.so this image is a good one for the rules of thirds.

SIMPLICITY:This picture shows a picture of the Boston red sox standing alon the foul lines at Fenway Park in boston as a priest reads a prayer.it gives the picture a good view of the cross in the middle. Eventough the baseball players are leading to the cross they dont take the view away from the cross in the middle.

LINES

LINES:In this picture the lines of the flag and the gray ladder go from the top and lead it to the eye of the man.The lines in this picture of the flag go diagnal and make it have a feeling that is a dynamic feel to it.

BALANCE

This flag is being held by two man on esch sides and there holding it real balance.They look like if they can balance it till for ever you can even cut a line in the flag straight down.

FRAMING

This picture is a good framing picture.THis is a man sitting down surrounded by lots of boxes.IT makes him look like one of the boxes since hes just sitting there doing nothing sitting still.So he makes the picture have a frame by the boxes.

AVOIDING MERGERS

I choose this picture bacause the people in the picture are all running and they have the same legs going the same way. ANd it shows a good view of them because none of them are being cut off and it show the right shot.
