I instantly fell in love with photograph as soon as I saw it. Since summer is just around the corner I have been looking at a lot of travel/nature photography, and this is one of my favorites at the moment. I love the clouds and the white space from the snow, and the composition of the person. The peak from behind the clouds adds a lot to the photograph, and the blue from the sky and far away mountains also makes the photograph even more beautiful.

When I saw this photograph I instantly felt nostalgia and longing for last summer and camping. The landscape in this photograph is beautiful and really vibrant, and the vibrant tent mimics this. I also enjoy how the red canoe matches the womans clothing in the photograph, and how the blue flows throughout the image as well, in the water, the mountains, and sky.

I was instantly drawn to this photograph because of the flags that are out of focus and in the foreground of the photograph. Their colors lead my eyes to the mountains in the background and the clouds, which are beautiful additions to the photograph. Overall the composition is really successful and helps this photo out greatly.

I was first attracted to this image because of the colors from the lava and the smoke surrounding the lava. The purple, blue, yellow, orange, and red are so beautifully flowing together in this image it is incredible. I also think the use of long exposure to capture the smoke in this way was a good choice to photograph this specific subject, and also how close the image is to the action adds drama and excitement to the image.

I love the size of this image and the layout. I don't think any other cropping or layout would have worked for this particular subject. The color of the sky nicely flows with the color of the mountains and landscape. The composition of this image is very nicely done, and the light sweeping over the landscape adds to the photograph as well.

I saw this photograph in a photography magazine that I have and I couldn't stop staring at this image. I haven't seen too many directly overhead photographs, especially not any this interesting. The colors in this are wonderful, especially the blue color from the televisions screen and the brown from the room and how they compliment each other. I also like the lamps and how their light shines on the objects in the room and the carpet.

I have been looking at portraits of people for fitness magazines and running magazines because I have been trying to get in shape again after my recent surgery, and these images really keep me going and inspire me. I saw this image and quite liked it. The composition is nice, and the color from the womans shoes goes well with her sports bra. It is a successful image for people wanting to get in shape and wanting inspiration to start working out. This specific photograph is a person in a plain background.

A lot of his photography that I saw was close up portraits with studio lighting, but the photographs that he made that were like this, with people in their environment really intrigued me the most, and I found them the most beautiful. The muted colors in this photograph are so beautiful, and how the ground looks like a huge mirror and reflects the bikes and the people on them. It's breathtaking.

I found this image interesting because of the selective focus on the scuba gear, and how the wrinkles from the subject look against the glass. This is a portrait of someone in their environment, but also with a plain background. There was another portrait of this person actually working in this scuba gear, but I found this one to be more interesting because of the muted colors, and how the red pops with them. I also quite enjoyed the composition as well.
