This piece caught my eye because of the interesting patterns of color and shape.  I like how the different shapes and colors are separate, yet they blend together in some areas.

I like taking photographs of old, rundown places.  So I immediately liked this photo because it relates with what I do in my own work.  I like the juxtaposition of the bright colors on the old, dilapidated building.

This piece feels mysterious to me.  I like that I can't tell what's going on; it makes me more interested in the piece.  I also like the overwhelming use of red.

Images of my own:

I decided to post this image that I took of the moon rising because it has interesting light patterns.  I like how the amount of light is minimal, but not boring.

I like this image because it really captures Claire's personality.  I also like the strong sunlight on her face and the shadows it creates.

I picked this image because of the perspective.  I also like the texture of the rocks and the roots.
