I like this picture because he is showing real emotions. The mood of this piece is he focusing on something and the atmosphere looks uncomfortable. This is an effective image because they have created an interesting composition by using the rule or thirds. This is clearly a studio shoot, where lighting can be controlled.

I like this picture because it focuses on the president(Barack Obama) and the way they put filter on him. In this piece I think he could be doing something with someone or speaking to his wife. The photographer is trying to get you to think about what is he doing or who is he talking to. This is an effective image because they have created an interesting composition by using the rule of thirds and viewpoints.

Emotions
Every photo tells a story through emotion and makes the viewer drawn into the photograph by happiness, sadness, loneliness. If an image is going to make you want to dive in, then it has to tap into an emotion you have felt before. The key to unlocking that emotion is finding the trigger that the person’s brain associated with the feeling. The easiest way to do this is to take control of the focus of the image.
BEST PHOTO
This is my best image as I wanted to show different emotions through Happiness and Sadness . Neelam on the left is expressing her emotions through happiness by laughing and Trisherd to the right of the image is showing sadness by not looking directly to the camera and displaying a empty feeling of sadness.

BEST PHOTOThis is my best photo because AJ is against the background which features a quote and I thought it was inspirational because AJ is Indian (Sikh) and Gandhi was Indian. I wanted to shoot the image black and white as it shows emotion by AJ looking as though he's thinking about Success capturing the viewer's attention.
WORST PHOTOThis is my worst photo because I did not get the focus of AJ face as he was moving alot, creating the photo to become blurred. I also wanted to capture AJ as a full body shot.
