National Geographic Picture

I love this photo because it shows a perfect example of something beautifully destructive, in a place where no one seems to live. This storm is so vivid and just so descriptive. I love the ambiance to this photo its crazy scary to be up next to that part but if you see it you may not be able to stay away from it because its just so attractive and attentive. This picture shows my view of the world perfectly, the world in my eyes is extremely beautiful in sights but on the inside things don't always go your way no matter what the situation is it can still tear your life apart.

Best and Worst Photos

 In opinion this is my best photo i took, i like how she is centered in the middle of the photo kinda, and i like how the background just blends in with her person. This picture is also at an angle that is kind of interesting in a creative way. I chose to shoot this picture this way because its just a great looking angle.

In my opinion this one is my worst photo because its kind of a plain photo not much is happening to the  model but stuff is in the background that doesn't match the persons nature. I like the background image but this picture just doesn't look right to me. The picture is too dark and doesn't let much light in.
