This photo was taken during a time when the world had been in a much different place. Women began to stand up for themselves later on and speak out. Which was how the me too movement emerged. So had this happened now and they were both strangers, of course this could be assault. By the looks of this photo it seems that the man had initiated it but a woman could assault a man at this time the same that a man could assault a woman.

                                                                 Balloon-Simplicity
I consider this photo to have simplicity because it is an object against a "plain" background so the object is the main focus. Also the balloon fills most of the space and there is not a lot of dead space.

Mask-Good Lighting and Focus
The mask has good lighting and focus because you are able to see all the texture in the mask but also the photo is not blurry at all.
                                                               Tree-Leading Lines
                               This tree creates leading lines because as you look at the tree you look at all the different branches and your eyes begin to wander around the page.

                                                    House-Emphasize Height and Distance
This emphasizes height and distance because the camera is placed at the horizon and you can see how tall the landscape is and in this case it is the house.
                                                               Bird-Rule of Thirds
This represents the rule of thirds because my bird was on the third line when i had been setting up the composition of the photo and it creates a very different look to it.

My favorite photo is the mask because I think the lighting adds good shadows that create dimension to the mask. I also like being able to see all the details in the mask.

The difference between a snapshot and an artistic photo I think is that they have different purposes. I feel like a snapshot is used when you want to capture a memory of some sort, and than artistic photography is used for the purpose of creating art.
