Photography:

1) The photo is a little grainy. But it might just be because of the news paper.
I see repetition in this picture because the cheerleaders are lined up. also there is depth of field because you can see mostly everything clearly. the main subject id Jordan Haschke. I think the picture is properly exposed.

2) The photo in B1 of the girl putting the sattle on the horse is really good because it points out the colors. The hose looks a little blurry though. I see fill the frame because the whole picture is full and balance. The mail subject is either the horse or Celeste Hermes. The picture looks a little to bright. This picture is shallow because only the main subjects are in focus.

3) The photo on B4 on the bottom, is ok. I don't really like it because the lighting looks really weird and some are in the light while some are in the shadows. I see repetition in this picture because the students are lined up. i don't think the picture is properly exposed. I just don't really like this picture in general.

4) I chose the picture with the girl doing a back handspring. I like this picture because it is properly exposed and it looks really hard to get a picture like this. There is no depth, the camera is just focused on the girl. The main subject us Kate Stubbs. I see leading lines with the balance beams that are lines.

5) On page B8, I chose the picture of the tow women kissing because i think that it creates awareness and i think not a lot of people would ave thought of putting that picture on the paper. I like how everything in the back ground is blurred so you only see the two women. I think the exposure is good. Also i see balance with the two people on each side.
