**__ Five Amazing Photographs __**
This photograph was very eye catching because of the creativeness used with the camera film to create a heart formation. This is a something that wouldn't been seen on a normal basis which makes it even more spectacular. This photo represents love or love for photography, but I believe it show love for photography because it includes a nikon camera. The lighting of this photo was used very appropriately since it brung out the image of the heart and camera very well. This photo is a close up shot and it shows details of the image very well.

This photo captures the beautiful wildlife and nature that exist around us. Many have not seen a close up of a butterfly but this photo clear shows the colours and designs of the wings that creates this beautiful creature. The lighting of this photo creates a bright image that is easy to see. This photo is a close up and captures a sharp view of the butterfly and the background is blurred to make the butterfly stand out more. As you can see, the rule of thirds is applied in this photo and the head of the butterfly is the intersection of one horizontal and vertical line.

In my opinon, this wedding photo is quite unique because the bridal prefers to take her photo at a open natural space rather than going to a professional photography to get her photo taken. This photo is very beautiful with the amazing natural landscape at the back beacause it brings out the beauty of the wedding dress and does not overpower it because of the colour contrasts. The background includes the sun's rays but it does not take away the focus in the foreground of the bridal. This pictures is a far shot because it captures a large area.

This photo caught my eye because this picture is very true since wearing glasses makes everything you see in HD whereas without it everything is more difficult to view. However, I believe there is another meaning to this photo, everyone wears glasses to see through things in life whether it is good or bad. Once again, the focus of this picture is everything within the lens and everything else is blurred. The lighting of the photo blends well and it doesn't take the focus away from the yellow flowers. This photo is from a high angle from above so the flowers can be shot with the stems showing.

This photo is really creative with they way they formed a peace symbol with six hands and thirty fingers. The bracelets on each wrist somewhat represents the theme of the picture. The lighting of this photo is well used because the peace symbol is put into the area that is the brightest which brings the eyes focus to it first. This photo is shot at a low angle from below to capture the sky and hands. Also, as you can see the arms are extending vertically which shows it was shot from a low angle. For this photo, the rules of thirds have been applied.
