I got this photo from my hometown newpaper's website. The story is about Rice producers and a study saying rice crops have have included arsenic. The photo is trying to show the rice truck being filled, but I think the point of it gets lost. The first thing my eyes were drawn to was the back of the truck where the ladder is, not the rice. The photo does not tell the story well, and in general I don't think it is a very interesting photo. The photographer maybe should of shot from a different angle or tried to get more focus on the rice and the worker beside it. This shot seems like a point and shoot shot that anyone could have gotten.
My second photo I got from the Victoria Advocate.

To be fair, I don't think the publication took this photo but I do think they could have found a better photo to publish or just left this one out all together. This photo shows the subject of the story, but I just think its really boring. There is no depth of field, no emotion, and the backdrop looks like someone threw a sheet back there to take a photo. The article is about couples claiming this seat is unsafe and filing suit after their children were injured. There could have been opportunity to get an emotional picture with these people. Also the seat is sold at target, I honestly think a photo outside of a target would have been better than this one.
