`1. Summer day. Bergen, Norway.
2. The blow up whale is the focal point of this picture. That and its shadow.

Environment critique


1. I chose this picture because Mr. Tovar gave us instructions on what to find and this photo followed all the basic guidelines.
2. It tells me that he takes action pictures of people doing snow sports. 
3. The clothes he is wearing and the snow in the background makes it obvious he is taken pictures of people doing sports in the snow like skiing and snowboarding. He is also carrying his extra equipment and his camera.

1. I chose this picture because it focuses on the main subject and what he is doing and because it shows that he enjoy what he is doing.
2. He enjoys taking pictures and it is either his hobby or job. He may be taking pictures of actors/actresses or wedding etc...
3. You can tell what he is doing by his camera and he knows what he is doing. It also looks like maybe a photo-shoot because of the background.

1. I chose this picture  because the elements in the background and the extra details really makes it obvious what he does.
2. He is obviously a soldier by his environment around him and the colors are a key aspect being camouflage.
3. His uniform, gun, and the tank in the background and the colors show what he does for a living.
