Eric_Favorite animal

I like cat more than dog, because cats are more elusive, which means they can give more surprise to the photographer. I took this photo in my yard, when I tried to get close to the cat when he was rolling on the grass, he noticed me and turned around immediately，and I took this photo of his scared eyes.I edited this photo a little bit on my PC, I increase the color saturation and contrast ratio to make the grass looks vivid.I also cut the picture from 6:4 to 16:9 to make the picture shows more visual impact.

Alexb_ Favorite Car

I took this photo this evening on my Nikon D3200. I chose my favorite car as an Audi because I love the slick design of their car models. I took a photo of my mom's new 2016 Audi A4 because this is a beautifully designed car, I love the shape, the headlights, the frame and it is a perfect built car. I love the low exposure in this photo because it isn't too harsh and difficult to see. I like that the car isn't overexposed and is in complete focus. I also like the reflection of my house can be seen on the body of the car and I think that makes this photo interesting to the viewer. I think the photo is also perfect because the headlights aren't too overexposed and the light isn't hard to see the details of the car. I also love the shininess of the car because it makes it appealing to look at. I wish the background wasn't too distracting because it takes away the focal point of the car a bit. I also wish you couldn't see the headlights of an incoming car way in the distance of the photo because it makes it distracting.

Teddy_Favorite Flower

I took this photo with my Nikon D3200 this afternoon in the front of my house. I chose this photo out of the dozen photos I captured this afternoon, this one being the best. I took several shots of the black-eyed Susan flowers. I like it how the lower flower is in complete focus, with that flower being in total focus, it grabs the full attention of the viewer immediately. I like how the background is blurred and dark because it allows the flowers to be the main subject for this photo. I used all natural lighting and no flash or additional lighting was used to capture this photo with my camera.

Parker_Opposites

This photo was taken in my neighborhood and one of my neighbors garden. I like this photo because the reds and greens are the main colors in the picture. I also like the red petals peppering the foreground with green leaves in both the foreground and green grass in the background. I made some cropping to get rid of the mulch on the bottom of the picture and the truck of the right. I wish I could have gotten rid of the yellow petals.
Which picture seems better? The original or the cropped one.

My favorite computer

This is my favorite computer, Alienware. I took this picture at home, I tooks like 10 pictures and finally chose this one, I change the picture effect and let it looks more beautiful, Alienware is a computer hardware from Dell, my Alienware 17 Laptop is a powerful game machine, this is the one reason why it becomes my favorite computer, and its speed was very fast, most beautiful thing is its keyboard and touchpad, you can change its keyboard and touchpad color, I really love this design.

Grace M Favorite Sport

My favorite sport is basketball. I love to play competitively and just for fun. When taking photos I started trying to get in action shots which then became pictures of just a court/gym but then I thought, how many people do that? The answer is a lot. Therefore I took this photo which shows the things I need to have in order to be able to play. I like the different textures such as the one coming from the basketball itself (bumpy), the ankle brace (smooth and rough), and the shoes which are a little blurred in the background (smooth). I also like having the NBA symbol up front as one of the things you see first when looking at this picture. When I took this, these objects were all in my duffle bag together and they were placed on a bench that is next to a window. It was light out and its shown in this even though the photo is presented in black and white. You can tell where the light hits most because of the shadows. 

Anderson_Favorite color

I took this picture in my neighborhood. My favorite color is green and lily pads are green. I think nature is a great example of the color green. I like the different sizes and kinds of lily pads. Some lily pads hold water in the center. I like how the edges of the lily pads curl up.

 

The second is a picture of a greenhouse containing green tomato plants in rows. The rows and roof supports add to the feeling of a long space. The tomatoes have not ripened and blend with the plants. I like the perspective and feeling of the long space.  

I found those two original pictures were dull and boring so I edited them on my computer. I changed the saturation by making my pictures appear more vibrant and appealing.
