Pictures

This photograph displays good use of contrast and balance. The fighters, connected as they are, make a focal point. But the empty space around them take up just as much space as they do. That, in addition to the dark and light skins of the fighters, give the phote nice contrast. The bulk of each fighter is just about equal, and they each occupy one side of the picture. Nice symmetry, excellent balance.

This photo jumped out at me. The three men are the focal point, obviously. But the head of the man being carried is dead center. Almost a bullseye. The contrast of colors spoke to me too. To the right, black coat with mostly dark or neutral colors behind him. To the left, red shirt--carrying something pink--with mostly dark or neutral colors behind him, except for the pink in that wall. Great balance and symmetry. It all plays nicely.

I like the boxing photo because it truly give you the perspective of just how hard he was hit, with the sweat beading off of his face.

I like the balance between the men and the buildings on both sides. Also, the contrast of color.

The first picture is sick. Good action shot.
