This photograph uses the element of color very nicely. I think it is really cool how the shirt blends in with the painting! There is a lot of movement within both the painting and the shirt. I love this picture and think it looks very nice.

This photograph is very interesting. While I don't exactly know what the wall says I can tell it is very powerful. I noticed most of her photography had a major focus on women. This is very cool and I like the element of color that she used with the flower. Overall, it is a very pretty picture.

This picture is very cool. Although it seems like an everyday image that anyone could take, I think he took the picture at the right time. The color all looks very beautiful. It has a lot of blue, red, and yellow. These are the primary colors. It really makes the man stand out in the picture. They really contrast each other nicely to make a good picture.

I love the black and white picture with the cat looking right at the lens. The lines of the white whiskers really stand out to make this picture what it is. I enjoy it a lot because the contrast of the black and white color really pop to make the picture beautiful. The shine on the fur really stands out and overall it is a great picture!

Cartier Bresson - Black and White Film

The shadows and the light really contrast each other in this picture. The birds look really cool both on the cage and the bird in his hand. I think that the lines on the cage and window make the picture really nice. Overall, I think this picture looks really nice in black and white because you can appreciate every element of it.

Lee Friedlander - Black and White Film @http://fraenkelgallery.com/artists/lee-friedlander This picture has a lot of amazing contrast between the shadows and light. I love this picture for various reasons. The shadows are very mysterious which leads to constant wonder of what is on the other side of the fence. Since there it is just black and white, the color element doesn't come in to play. But, between the fence and the tree, there is a lot of lines and movement that make the picture that much more appealing.
