This picture is landscaped, which makes for better coverage of the focal point. The picture makes use of the environmental colors, keeping it feeling fresh and cool. The polar bear is walking on a path which makes a parallel line to the horizon and the line above that one as well. The polar bear gives off a feeling of lonliness, but the path set before him has already been laid out for him, so we know he is not alone. I feel the color of the sun adds to the feeling of the picture, which may convey peace.

This portrait depicts a dog and its owner all in shades of blue. This actually does follow the rule of thirds in photography, and the focus of the protrait is clear. The owner's hand holding the dog makes me feel like it should not be there, it adds noise to the portrait. We know shes the owner, but her hand see pushes the idea too much. Not only that, her head perpendicular to the dogs is upsetting, it seems too chaotic and the focal point then seems off center.

I think this portrait is excellent. it is composed of shades of blue. The blues give it a contemporary, classy feeling. i love how the bridge in the background and the concrete in the railing in the focal point follow the rule of thirds naturally.
