The first photograph (starting at the bottom closest to this paragraph, then working your way UP) is an example of action. Clearly this photography is taken at a peak of an action (bucking) and I think it is a very excellent photography. Obviously I love horses and I also love photography, so my examples are all photographs of horses. My second photograph is an example of taking a photograph from a unique angle. I really like this angle because of the unique line angles in the curvature of the horse's body. The third photograph is an example of framing. The colors are beautiful and the framing makes it obvious that the horse is the focus of the photograph. The lead rope then directs your eye to the man and then the rest of the photograph. I added four pictures because I couldn't pick just three of the ones I chose. So, the fourth photograph is a bonus. Photo four is an example of cropping. Now, of course I cannot prove that the photographer cropped this photograph on his computer after it was taken (although that is pretty likely) but I would definitely consider it cropped because it focuses on an area of the horse that is not typically photographed alone. I think the drop of water on the horse's tongue really adds an interesting element to the photograph. All of the images are raster images saved as .jpeg

  1. I really like the third picture (the examply of framing). The eye is immediately drawn to the horse and then gradually moves out to the beauty of the scenery.
