Academic Shoot and Reflection

Framing
In this photo, I believe I followed the rule of framing pretty well. The subject of this photo is the two students sitting at two different tables. I think the subject is pretty clear, but it could've been more pronounced. 

Merger
This photo was an example of a merger, but not a very "good" one.  The subject of this photo is the computer, and I think that is very clear. 

Balance
This photo isn't a very good example of balance, but I think it still shows it. The subject of this photo is the girl in the right corner. I think the subject is very clear in this picture. I could've made the person in the background more visible to make the rule clearer. 

Lines
This is probably my least favorite photo. The rule of lines is there, but it doesn't really lead your eye anywhere. This picture is very boring to me. The subject is just the stairs, but that might not be obvious to most people. I could've made this a better picture if the rails were leading to something at the top of the stairs. 

Rule of Thirds
This photo was supposed to show rule of thirds, and I think it shows the rule well. The subject is the girl sitting  in the desk, and I think people will not have a problem figuring that out. I could've made this a better picture by maybe changing the angle, because there's so much distractions in the left half of the picture.

Simplicity
I didn't know I was going to have such a hard time getting simplicity. This picture doesn't show it very well because of everything that's going on around it. The subject was supposed to be the flame, but it's hard to tell because of all the people around it. I could've made this a better picture if I had zoomed in more on the flame and the hands around it.
