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.
