Portraits

I think what makes a good photo is good focus and good compositions. The way everything else should look good and balanced, like the colors and how the thing or person is . If someone is standing on a rock I wouldn't want them to stand only on the left I want them in the middle. That's what a good photo should be. In my photos I'm going to use everything I just stated and evrything else that makes it look good.

Dove evolution of beauty

they changed the lady's hair, eye color, her eye shape, and her facial features. I don't think its ethically OK to change someones appearance because it makes someone somebody they want them to look like. they could make someone feel different about themselves like they don't belong.
the types of changes i think are ok is changing someones hair or haircolor, and changing their weight.
the differences of fashion photography and photo journalism is that they take pictures of people they can change and make different and photo journalism is taking still life pictures or taking pictures of people(without changing them).

Ethics -photo manipulation

This photo I think was the least unethical because I guess nobody reads national gegraphic and i dont think there is nothing wrong with this photo.

Ethics intro-Photo minipulation

I think this photo is ethical because a lot of people dont like saddam and this picture is i guess wrong.

Print Evaluation

one thing that is in sharp focus is the person on the floor reading the book.

there is good contrast(Black and whites) because everything was right on the light meter.

i dont thin i followed the rules in this picture, but next time i will look out for that.

there is no yellowing or spots on the print and no rings.

my negatives and test strip and contact sheet are in the right spot.

the person in my photo i think his name is travis.

he is reading a book in the hallway during school for his class.
