I like this picture because it shows the rule of thirds. It becomes dramatic with the couple being centered to the sunset at the top and the rocks to be seemingly endless behind them. They are overlooking a beautiful sunset, and it makes the background become much bigger, and their bodies much smaller. If they were made to be larger in the photo then it wouldn't have put as much focus into the background as it is doing right this second. I chose this image because it makes you feel so small to the huge background which is almost a scary, but fascinating feeling. It honestly makes me feel like hiking.

This is a good example of quality of light. It enhances the already breathtaking view. By showing the shadows in the body of water it shows how much the tall building towers over everything else, and creates breathtaking shadows within the water. This creates a more vacation enhanced look that could draw someone's attention to going there. The lights on the building themselves as well creates a nightlife look that the city is still in a bustle. It creates a beautiful view, and shows the extravagance, and height of buildings as well by highlighting the detail within their windows. The texture of the water appears very smooth with the reflection within. It creates a silky look, and very soft. This picture makes me feel like I'm about to go on a crazy adventure and this is why I chose this photo.

This picture is a good example of out of focus pictures. It makes me feel the anxiety of being within a city, and the craziness, and rush that comes with it. This picture makes you feel like you're in the middle of the street and almost zoned out to what is going on around you. I chose this picture because when I'm in a city I feel so small to everything around me which can create anxiety for somebody, and this picture makes me feel like that. I like how the out of focus is on the tall buildings enhancing that look, and putting some of the focus into the rushing citizens as an emphasis to how fast they may be going.
