This picture was taken by Silver Doctor, who was inspired by Imogen Cunningham's type of photography. It was taken by a Nikon D90, so it was digital photography. For elements of design within this image, there is good balance of colors, between the contrast of the black and white. Also, the photographer used good use of his space, but having the image come from the right corner, not just the center of the page. I admire this photo, and the photographer who took it because they used good color choice, but putting the flower on black so you could really see the detail of the petals. It's a beautiful picture, and is very intriguing.

This image is called "Evening Plunge", by Maggie Taylor, who is a digital photographer. But she does her work a little differently, by using photoshop on the computer. Within this photo, she uses many elements of design, especially movement, with the ripples in the water. She also uses more dark colors to create the scene of "evening" in the image. This photo caught my eye with the colors that she used, but also the way that she creates the images, through photoshop, seems really difficult.

This photo was part of Galen Rowell's "Sierra Nevada" portfolio. This photographer uses good movement, and bold colors throughout the piece. I really liked this photo because of the sunset in the background, but also the angle that it was taken it. This photographer also really enjoys taking pictures of nature, which I really like looking at.

This image was taken in 1962, by the photographer Ansel Adams. He was also very into taking pictures of nature, and that's why I was interested in this photo. He does a good job of balancing out the two colors, and contrasting them equally. The white and black both stand out, and give this photo its own uniqueness.

This image was taken by Karl Blossfeldt, and it is a picture of a Maidenhair Fern. While looking through some of his other photos, he seems to take a lot of pictures of plants, and flowers, which is different from some of the other artists that I looked at, which may have been why it was so interesting to me. Also, the use of space that he used really caught my eye as well, meaning where he placed each curling fern.

Lee Friedlander is the photographer of this photo, and he used gelatin silver print to finish off the photo. I really liked this photo because of the angle that he took it from, it makes you seem like you're sitting in the car, but also in the city as well. Also, he shows you what's behind you, using the review mirror. It shows movement, and good contrast with the black and white.
