Photo #1

• Photo uses natural lighting • It comes from the sun and reflects off the snow• The main subject of the photo is the arctic fox, I know this because it

is positioned in the center of the photo.• The fox hits two points in the rule of thirds showing its importance,

Art Wolfe positioned himself so that the fox would be the main subject

• I think the photographer is trying to show that this is a precious animal and is rare

• I chose this photo because I really like how he took the photo and the subject

Photo #2

• The photo of the two gray foxes also uses natural light to capture the image

• The main subject of the photo is the two fox pups at play.

• They take up most of the image

• The foxes are in focus and the background is not, which shows that they are the main subject

• The photographer is communicating that these are innocent animals

• I chose this photo because I like the picture of the two foxes

Photo #3

• This photo uses natural light

• The main subject of the photo is the owl and the bush

• They are in focus while the rest of the image is blurry

• The photo is striking because it uses rule of thirds to have the owl in the right center and the background is out of focus

• I chose this photo because I really enjoy it

Photo #4

• This photo uses the sun as natural light

• The main subject of the photo is the two birds that are in the center

• Art Wolfe uses selective focus to capture the two puffins

• They are in the center of the photo

• I chose this photo because I think it is well taken

• This is a very neat photo

Photo #5• This photo uses natural light• The tiger is the main subject because the rest of the photo is black• The tiger stands out because a shadow covers the rest of the screen• He is communicating that tigers are dangerous animals• I really like this photo, it is one of my favorite photos• I like how he uses the shadow in the photo
