a) My initial reaction to this photo is that it is so in the

3 moment and majestic.

 b) This
photo is
very
texturized
and
captures
the raw
effects of

with the
blood and
water
spraying
and the

background blurred out behind.

stands out.

that you would be able to travel and see the world and capture and
document it through images.

f) Drawbacks about the career: you would be always away from home or
would just be living out of a bag
with no fixed address and could
get very expensive travelling.

My initial reaction to this

photograph is that I really like
the perspective of how the
photo is taken down the
winding river. I like the
reflection of the lights on the
water and the way the
buildings hit the horizon. The
focal point is hard to distinguish
but I think the most noticeable
thing is the boat going across
the river.

Creation:
photo 1 wildlife photography
photo 2- Travel
Final:
a) The images that I have chosen are appropriate because one
is wildlife and the other one is travel.
b) What I like best about my final piece is that I could have the
eagle sitting on the tree branch overlooking the city.
c) If I could change it I would learn how to blend the eagle Into
the background better and make it look more realistic.
