Class 5 -Chika A.

This photo was taken by Sam Mircovich for Reuters. It's a weather photo of an impending rainy day over Los Angeles. The picture captures the bleak gloom of weather, but encapsulates the city's skyline in an almost snowglobe fashion. I think the photographer made good use of natural light.

This picture features He Pingping, the world's shortest man. It was taken by Yoshikazu Tsuno for AFP. This picture works well because it's all about perspective. Even without a caption, a viewer could see that Pingping is unusually small for a man, because of the juxtaposition with the shoe.


This picture comes from Shaun Curry for AFP. It shows a child playing rock, paper, scissors with a robot at the Science Museum in London. I think it works because although there are only two objects in the frame, a viewer knows exactly what is going on. And the blue backdrop, whether it be a wall, or cloth, is out of focus, and provides a good contrast.
