Action/Sports
Photo by Yuichi Masuda/Getty Images July 27, 2021 I chose this picture because I liked how it captured the dugouts emotions instead of the baserunner. I think by shifting the focus to the dugout the viewer gets a more in depth look at the emotions of the team. It really showcases that sports aren't just a one person thing and that everything that you do has an impact on the team which really embodies the feeling of teamwork and sportsmanship. |
Landscape
Photo by Clyde Butcher I chose this picture of Glacier National park because I feel that it captures the beauty of Glacier without color and I think that that is very impressive. I like how its very clear and in focus it really gives you the feeling that you are there looking at it. With all these components, to me, this is the best landscape photo. |
Current events/news
Photo by AP Photo/Gregory Bull February 6, 2022 I chose the 2022 winter olympics for my current event. I chose this picture because I liked how all the colors are vibrant, how clear the picture is and how it is focused on her and the flag. I liked the olympics as a topic because everyone is working for a common goal and it doesn't matter what country you are from or how old you are, it is just about doing your best and making your country proud. |
Historical Event
Photo by Sean Adair / Reuters I chose this image for historical events because it is a big part of Americas history. I liked that the picture is old and not as clear as todays cameras because it represents the time period that it happened in. I liked that the smoke was in the picture and the second plane is flying because you can see what was actually going on there. |
Day-in-the-Life/ Personal
Photo by Lauren Archie May 28 2021 This photo is the best representation of a day in the life of me because it has softball, my dogs, and my family. These three things are the most important to me. This picture is also very clear, and has almost everything in focus and can be seen easily so the main parts really stand out. |
Travel
Photo by Matt Anderson This is the best travel photo because it has many bright and vivid colors and it is super interesting to look at. I liked how the ocean and sky is a baby blue color and the rest is warm tones. I feel that it adds contrast and draws your eyes to the image. I chose Hawaii for my travel image because it is a beautiful state and is very fun to visit. |
Fashion/product/brand marketing
Photo by Kendra Scott jewelry This photo is the best product picture because it uses all shades of pink to contribute to the rose gold jewelry. The addition of a pink background accentuates the pink jewels and rose gold metal. I think that with the pink colors it is very aesthetically pleasing and nice to look at. |
Wildlife Photography
Photo by Robin Orrow This picture is the best wildlife photo because it captured the movement of the water really well which makes the image interesting to look at. I also liked the stark contrast of the black background and the bright foreground. I think that it really draws your eyes to the bear and water. |
Portrait
Photo by Irving Penn 1969 I think that this is the best portrait because there is a lot of detail in her face and lace. I like that it is in black and white but you still can see all the details and contrast. I like the bright pearl earring and the dark lace next to each other because the black and white is so distinct. |
