Balance

Good balance is simply the arrangement of shapes, colors, or areas of light and dark that complement one another so that the photograph looks well-balanced. Here the picture is symmetrical and shows good balance because the subjects can be separated into two vertical pictures-which tends to divide the viewer's attention.

Simplicity is ways to give the center of interest in your pictures the most visual attention. One way is to select uncomplicated backgrounds that will not steal attention from your subjects.  Here the background is a solid color which gives emphasis to the building on fire.

LIKE

DISLIKE

LIKE: i like this picture because everything is so clear and crisp! The light is also really very good because if you picture an imaginary line going straight down the middle of his face then you can see how in one area the light doesn't shine and how the other area it does. The picture also captures the teachers shadow which is also really very cool.
DISKLIKE: i dislike this picture because its very blurry and you can really focus on anything about the picture except for it is very blurry, which makes the picture a bad one!!! NOTHING is focused!!!
