I think this photo captures a mysterious like feeling. Where these lights came from, how were they formed? I believe that photographer was trying to capture this awing wonder that is the Aurora Borealis. This photo was taken by Paul Nicklen. In this photo fill the frame was and leading lines were the compositional techniques used. Leading lines because your eyes follow the path of the light. Fill the frame for how the spaced is filled with the trees and sky. (http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/photography/photos/life-color-green/#/green-aurora-nicklen_1416_600x450.jpg)

For some odd reason I believe this photo evokes a calming feeling. Where you see the sky and tops of the buildings feels sort of natural for city life and the fact that it is raining. What i think the photographer was trying to capture was maybe the viewpoint of an average person or a tourist. I also like the fact that he, Paul Politis, included the spotting scope ( binoculars ) because it makes me feel like I'm a tourist visiting New York. Rule of thirds is one of the compositional techniques used. There is the spotting scope in one part and the Empire State building in another.

I like this photo because it gives off a happy feeling because there are warm feeling colors and the sand from a beach. Who doesn't like the beach? I also like that behind each door there is another open door. This makes the compositional techniques framing and leading lines. George Steinmetz is the photographer. "Sand fills a building in an old diamond-mining town in Namibia, known for harsh landscapes that include coastal desert and semiarid mountains." I think the description of the land contradicts with the photo because it looks so serene.
