Principle #1: Black and white photography
This photograph was taken during a time when only black and white photography was available. Black and white puts more emotion in this photo and makes the viewer wonder what this photo is about.
Principle #2: What feelings does the image create?
This image creates a lot of emotion. This photo makes the viewer think of why this photo was taken and why there are two little kids on the ground sleeping against the wall.
Principle #3: Use of Shadows
The shadows seem to be from natural light and not from forced light. There is a shadow behind the little boy which makes the viewer wonder where it is from because the object does not appear in the photo.
Why I chose this image:
I chose this image because it really stuck out to me. Seeing the two little kids sitting and laying on the ground really caught my attention.

Principle #1: In or out of focus
The image is very much so in focus. The sharpness of the image brings out each object in the photo very clearly.
Principle #2: Background compliments or detracts from composition
There are mountains in the background of this image and it really compliments the entirety of the image. I think it makes the image a little more interesting because without the mountains, the image would be plain and boring.
Principle #3: Quality of Light
The lighting in this image is very engaging and in fact is what drew my eye to this image. There isn’t too much lighting in this picture but just enough to enhance the quality and beauty of this image. The fact that the lighting is backlight brings out the texture and the outlining of the objects very well.
Why I chose this image:
I chose this image because I personally enjoy nature photography and often have an eye for it. The quality of this photo and the lighting inside this photo immediately caught my attention. I also enjoy how this photo is in black and white.

Principle #1: Exposure time
Freeze action was used to take this picture to create freeze motion and sharpness. The freeze action creates a feeling of wonder and it freezes the feeling and action of chaos.
Principle #2: Background compliments or detracts from composition
The background compliments the image. It complements the subjects as well. There is not much going on in the background, it is just an empty field. If there was something going on in the background, I feel like it would distract the rest of the image and be too cluttered.
Principle #3: Rule of thirds
This image is a perfect example of Rule of Thirds. The photographer took this image with the subjects off center and not directly in the center of the image.
Why I chose this image:
I chose this image because I thought it was again, very clear in quality and the camera brought out the sharpness in the subjects. The colors of the image are very vibrant and also caught my eye.
