Sports action photo shoot

Travis charging towards me like a crazy guy. He tripped over his own foot at one point in this photo.

Travis running towards Felicia with the football in his hands. He threw it at her after this picture was taken.

A silver honda driving by the basketball court. The car was speeding down the road extremely fast.

Felicia lifting up her leg for a pose. That's what diamond dazzlers are supposed to do, right?



Caption and evaluation practice

Headline: Masked criminal sets items on fire for selfish pleasure.
Caption: An anonymous person lights a bottle on fire with SWAT right behind him in the middle of the big apple on 9/11 for a memorial service. He was trying to represent how much he hates the terrorist attack of 9/11.

This photo has the rule "viewing" in it because it's at an interesting angle and the background is just a simple sky and there's no confusion or clutter in the photo, so this could also be framing because the grass and hills frame the horses.

 

This photo contains the rules "create depth" and "framing". The ocean and the sky frame the sinking boat. The rule create depth is shown because you can see the boat in the background so that creates visual depth for the viewer.

This photo contains the rules "symmetry" and "patterns and cropping". The editor of this photo shouldn't have cut out the person on the lefts head and the person on the rights other half of their body. This has symmetry because there's about the same number of lanterns on each side of this photo.
