1. My favorite photo was of Ms. Shuttlesworth because of the colors and it captures a lot of emotion and shows the happiness that she was feeling. The rules that are evident are leading lines and cropping. 

2. My least favorite photo was the girls softball photo. I felt like the background was too busy and distracting her hand is somewhat blurry. 

3. I would've chosen the story about the marching band going to London since I went on that trip and it would be fun to write a whole story when you are there so there is a lot more emotion and truth put into it.

4. From a 1 to 10, I would give it a 6 or a 7. Many of the photos were very strong but there a few that were rough because of bad cropping, looking crowded and many other factors.
