The story is about Varsity cheerleaders but the picture is of JV cheerleaders so it doesn't impact the story as much as it could.I think it is a good photo though because you can tell the cheerleaders were moving but there's not a lot of blur and you can see clearly.

The photo goes well with the story because it shows the girl with her horse and a skill that is being done by the horse. I think it was a good photo to chose because it shows and explains what's happening. The lighting is also good because you can see the girl and horse perfectly without any shadows.m

What is your favorite photo in the entire paper?
My favorite photo is of the Who's Tommy story
Why is this your favorite?
This is my favorite because they're all so focused looking and it looks like they need to get work done and I think you can feel the emotion of what they are feeling.
What rules of photo composition are evident?
lines and maybe rule of thirds
What is your least favorite photo in the entire paper?
The page where the 2 guys are lifting weights but it it 2 different stories.
Why is this your least favorite?
I feel like both photos are almost the same and they should be a little bit more different because they have different stories and are about similar topics but have a different meaning
If I was a photographer I would want to do entertainment or sports because I am very athletic and like all kinds of sports but I also like what other students do.I liked the paper but I think some pictures could have been better. I didn't like how some pictures were in black and white and others were I color, I think they should all be the same. The stories were really strong and written good.
