4/5 Composition: I really like everything about this picture besides that the bottom is cut off that drives me nuts.

5/5 Technical Aspects: I love the lighting, how its plain but its interesting. I love the boca in the lens I think that it makes the picture.

5/5 Overall Effort: When I was taking this picture, I had a hard time finding the angle I wanted and the focus and boca, this was my favorite one that I took.

5/5 Composition: I really like the tulips in focus and how not just one is but multiple, and I like that you can see the building in back. Also I like that how there are some tulips in the background that are really out of focus.

5/5 Technical Aspects:  I like the lighting in this picture because its different that most pictures. I like that its cool but warm at the same time.

5/5 On Topic: So we really could have done whatever we wanted, we just had to take a picture of a tulip or something that relates and I think I did that.

5/5 Overall Effort: I took this picture a couple different ways and at different angles and it was hard to decide which on was best. I really like this picture and all the aspects that help enhance the picture.

5/5Composition: I really like this picture I think that it's super sweet and cute, I think that he should have moved up so there wasn't so much shadow.

4/5Technical Aspects: I like the lighting in it but the shadow over his face throws off the picture and takes away from the action that he is doing.

5/5On Topic: I think that I took a unique picture something different, with a different kid of lighting and it turned out pretty well.

5/5Overall Effort: I like how this picture turned out and the lighting is good, the only thing I would change is the shadow over his face but other than that I really like this picture.

5/5Composition: I really like how it's just half of her face and not her whole face.

5/5 Technical Aspects: I love the way her eye pops and that it draws you in and I really like the lighting. I like how you can see her freckles adn that her hair is dark but it still shines.

4/5 On Topic: I think that this picture is on topic but I dont like that her face is grey and you lose the whole black and white component.

5/5 Overall Effort: I actuall really like this picture and the way that it turned out. Something that I would change is maybe do both of her eyes and not the rest of her face, just her eyes.

5/5 Overall Effort: I do like how this picture turned out and the way that it looks I just think that some minor things got in the way from being a great picture.

5/5Composition: I really like this picture in general I like the contrast between the boy and girl and how you can see some of her nail polish. I like her ring and his watch, also I like how it looks like she is pulling away from him and it kind of tells a story.

4/5Technical Aspect: I wish the lighting was a better so that their hands wouldn't look over exposed, also that they weren't wearing black jackets so you could see their arms.

5/5On Topic: The topic was contrast, I think that there hands are contrasting the blackness of the rest of the picture and that it's a boy and a girl.

4/5Composition:  I enjoy that I was contrasting her socks to her shoes but the yellow curb in the background really helped show the contrast.

5/5Technical Aspects: The lighting in the picture is a little gloomy but I think that it helps the colors to pop!

5/5On Topic: The topic of the week was color and contrast and I think that it is, her socks to her pants and shoes and the yellow curb to the sidewalk.

4/5Overall Effort: I gave myself a 4 because the curb is crooked compared to the rest of the picture and it bothers me and I don't like it.

4/5Technical Aspects: I really like the lighting for this picture and how it turned out. I don't like the wrinkle in the logo on the shoe.

4/5Overall Effort: I gave myself a 4 because if I really looked at the picture after I took it I would have seen the wrinkle but I didn't take that much time.
