1. My favorite photo was the one of Chris playing the guitar.
1A. This was my favorite because it had a really pretty background and the guy was doing what he loved.
1B. One rule of photo composition was the rule of thirds.

2. My least favorite photo was the softball photo on page 11.
2A. I was an okay picture, but it was way to dark and no one could see the girl very clearly.

3. If I were part of the staff, I would totally want to take a photo of the baseball game. There are a lot of reasons, but my main reason is that it would be fun to get an action shot. And also, I love baseball and watching it so it would be more like fun and a reward than work.

4. I would rate it as a 7. It was pretty good, but could use some work. The photos of people doing things were great. But when it came to art work, I feel as if they could have gave more detail and color to the drawings.
