McGarry_Tracks

This is a picture I took of a friend of mine while we were on a run. I particuarly like the way his head is framed by the bright sky; I thought that that draws the right amount of attention to him. this was taken outdoors in late afternoon without flash.

This photo really drew my eye. It is very interesting and creative. It was taken at the perfect time with the sun setting right next to the person walking. I like that the persons clothing colors are more vibrant from the surrounding sunlight. The pathway of the train tracks add great detail and intrest to the subject in addition to adding the main aspect movement in the picture.

I really like this photo! The depth of feel is great, I like how it extends all the way to the center of the photo. The trees on the side as well as the tracks add flow to the photo. I find the person walking on the tracks a bit distracting, even though you were going for that idea. Otherwise this is an amazing photo!

I think this is a very good picture. I like that the track gives the photo such a defined flow. I like that there is not much color except for the bright pop of it from the sunset. I don't mind the person in the picture but I think it could still be a great photo without him.

Thanks for the commentary! It seems a little silly to me to take the person out of the photo, since he was the point, but I guess its true that it is a pretty engaging photo without him.
