Prompt Shoot Peer Review

I like pause the best because it does a good job demonstrating the prompt, and it is very well balanced. I also like The End photo in black and white because is gives a dramatic effect. 

My least favorite is foot prints because I think they could've used the background or another rule of photography to add to the picture. I feel if the person was walking and they took a picture is would demonstrate foot prints better.

The Year of 2014

Manhattan 01/24/14 - Andrea Mohin

This was one of my top three favorite photos of the year because it is unique and doesn't just demonstrate on image. First I saw the dancers and was confused and then I saw the eye.

Rio De Janeiro, Brazil 01/09/14 - Yasuyoshi Chiba

This was one of my top three favorite photos of the year because the soccer balls are suspended in the air and look to be frozen in time. Also the photo is an all Yellow scale from black to light yellow.

Gaza Strip 08/21/14 - Amir Cohen

This was one of my top three favorite photos of the year because the rocket shoots across the sky leaving a streak of light. The clouds and stars also add to the sky so it is more complex.

Taylor Swift - Blank Space

I think this was the set of 2014 because the lyrics were so well thought out. She always knew how to make her fans love her. The music video described the song and demonstrated what it means. Taylor brings to words what she and other people feel adds a be a and its a hit.

The hunger games catching fire

Hunger games catching fire held your attention from begging to end. Through the suspense of every event something was happening. There were so many emotional moments where nothing seemed to go right. There were also action events where your on the edge of your seat.

Top news story

The ebola virus killed tons of people in africa. Some U.S. doctors went to go help save people and treat them. Ebola had never been in the U.S. Until the doctors came back infected with the disease and the government tried to keep the public calm. Not wanting the public to panic and cause an outbreak.

Jennifer Lawrence

I fee she is most influential. She is a very good actor. She shows bright spirt and is bold. She is pretty and she can sing. Ive seen more of her movies than just the hunger games and all of them she is stunning.

The 2014 world cup was the best sport event. Ronaldo who played for portugal was most entertaining to watch. He is very skilled in soccer. He also created many plays and made some goals for his team.
