Towson Tiger:
I chose this photo because I liked the way the viewer can see the details in the sculpture along its back, in its mouth and its eyes. It follows the rule of thirds since most of the attention is drawn to its head and face which is positioned in the upper right corner.
Fall:
Pumpkins are a staple when it comes to the changing of the season. I liked the texture in the photo along the pumpkins and its stem.

Portrait:
This image has a simplicity in it mixed with various textures. In my opinion, the white brick on the home mixed with the rustic wooden rocking chair and white metal side table shows character. The large window behind the woman brings lines into the image. I think its large size makes her look smaller in the image also. This photo contains the rule of thirds since the woman is placed in the bottom left corner.
