Faria's Photo project

This is a good photo because of the focus on the man in the front and the blurred but yet visible line of people in the back. The focus on the man hints at the difficulty of an individual in finding employement, but the blurred line behind not only gives depth to the frame but subtly shows how many people in our nation are in that situation. What prevents it from being a great photo I believe is the bad cropping, with an awkward white bar at the bottom. The lighting also isn't very good, and placing the caption on the right side is very distracting. Overall however, I believe it to be a good photo.-CNN

This is a bad photo. While the lighting is good, Obama's face being turned away and his daughter's being a downward frown tells us very little in way of what the photo means. The background of greenery is very typical and boring, as is having the subjects dead set in the center of the photo. It's a very plain, boring photo, with nothing to make it exceptional or even better than a very bare version.-The Onion
