This photo was taken by Ansel Adams. I am not really sure where the picture is taken but if i were able to go to this landscape i would deffinetly like to get on the top of the mountain so i could see what was around the area. Im sure it would be an awsome site from there. When you first look at the picture the mountain does not look that big untill you focus on the tree's in front of it. As much as i would like to see this photo in color i think the black and white was a good choice and helps set the picture off. You can still tell it is very cold and snowing and you can see the ice texture on all of the tree's. I really like how there is like a very bright spot on the mountain and some of the tree's it really catches your eye. Also the fog in the upper left and fading onto the mountain really adds character to the photo

Eliot Porter

The photo I picked was taken by Eliot Porter, a photographer who specializes in nature photos. I really like how the blue and yellow flow together so well. I also like how the blue background is somewhat blury so you can not really tell what it is. So most of the focus is on the bright yellow leaves. The depth of field really brings the color in the leaves out though. I dont think the leaves would look as bright if the background did not have the dullness to it. But the backgound plays a good role with the yellow because the clouds still have a tiny yellow and orange glow to them if you look close.

Critical response

-Both of the images show that the objects are in motion.
-They show motion by showing each step of the movement.
-The purpose of these photo's are to show motion because they have changed the shutter speed in order to show that the objects are in motion and that is the first thing you notice.
