This photograph is very monumental. A different perspective on a landscape with a lot of texture. This image almost seems black and white. The drift wood leads your eye to the horizon line as well as back to the mountains. Another reason I like this image is because it was shot for national geographic.  There is also a great depth in this image and use of dark tones.

This is a very amazing photograph. The way that Jenshel captured the fireworks as well as evening out the light on the fence. I also think this is a great example of mixed light as well.  The compliments of red and green as well as the tungsten light on the fence. The fence also creates a line for your eye to travel stopping at the couple gazing in the distance and then looking up towards the fireworks.

I think this is a great use of fluorescent lighting. The composition is spot on as well. The way that Eggleston arranged the objects within the frame. This photograph has a very cold. "prim" if you will environment. The subtle creases in the chair that relate to the creases in the bed.
