I can not decide which is my favorite out of the three because they are all unique in their own way. In the first picture of Emily Ide, her pink jacket and the green background go well together and compliment her hair color and facial features. The picture is very colorful but not distracting.

In the second picture of Kelly Egan the snow in her hair gives the picture a sense of atmosphere and surrounding. I like how her head is in poise directly above her hand. It is different but not awkward liek some professional photographers make their models pose. I also like how the top of her head is cut off a little so it gives the picture more depth and a more modern composition. Btw, Kellys eyes give the picture meaning. The highlights make them look dreamy and picturesque....picture-worthy=)

Lastly, in the third photo, I love how it looks like the picture was taken in between a black and white/ sepia filter yet the sky looks different than if is was taken with one of those filters. I like how the fishing rod looks like it keeps going and going and looks longer than it actually is. The details in his arms are good but if the viewer could see more of his face it would be better however i also think the shadow adds to the mood (relaxing, fishing on a boat, basking in the sun).

I love the picture of the man fishing. I feel as though it captures the mood and feeling of a fishing trip perfectly.

Katie Flagg, I really enjoy the last picture.
(I thought you did a superb job at portraying me and the activity that really engulfs my life.)


I really enjoy the texture in the arm and face, and the way the fishing line sort of trails off the page.
It is definatly one of my favorite pictures of yours.

I like all of your pictures! They all came out really well! But my fav is the picture of kelly also. I like how you can see almost every minor detail, especially the snowflakes.

every one of these photos are gorgeous in every way. i absolutley love the colours in the first one &how dramatic they are.
the second one is beautiful because of the snow, pose, lighting, and the shaddows. also, the reflection in her eyes really do add to the picture.
the last one is one of my favourites. just the way the fishing pole kind of points off into the distance, and the sepia tone, &the beautiful detail.
i love everyone of these photos.
