Academic Photo Shoot

Balance: 

1) I think that the rule was not completely met, because I think I could have cropped more of the unnecessary items out and only captured the students. 

2) The subject is the four students at work.

3) The subject is obviously clear in the photo since they are the main focus point.

4) I could have balanced the photo out more by zooming in and only capturing the students without anyone else or anything else in the background. 

Line:
1) This rule was met by having various lines lead the way to the main focus point.
2) The subject in this photo is the young girl drawing.
3) The subject is clear because there is very little in this picture besides the girl and the wall.
4) To make this picture better I would crop out the window next to the pillar and crop out the slight view of the hallway.

 Merger:
1) This photo clearly shows a merger by the cup's straw sticking up in the girl's nose.
2) The subject in this photo is the girl listening to music through headphones.
3) It isn't totally clear to what the subject because of the unnecessary people in the background.
4) I think I could have gotten rid of the extra people in the background because it really takes away from the main focus point.

Rule of Thirds:
1) The rule was met but it defiantly needs work, because the main subject is just too far away and the flags really bother me.
2) The subject is the boy rehearsing for his part in theatre. (Although you can't tell)
3) It isn't clear to what the subject is because it wasn't taken close enough to see the subject up close.
4) I could have taken a better photo by zooming in and cutting away a lot of the staircase.

Simplicity:

1) This rule wasn't well taken because the rule wasn't followed all the way. 

2) The subject is the boy reading on the the East Lounge.

3) The photo's subject isn't clear because the photo is just so busy. 

4) If the photo was cropped just enough to where you only see the boy on the couch then the photo would have came out better. 

Framing:
1) This photo is a good example of framing because you can see two sides of the frame.
2) The subject is the boy in blue with a ruler in his hand.
3) The subject is very clear in this photo because their is pretty much nothing in the background distracting the eye.
4) This photo could have been taken better by getting the boy a little off center more.
