6. Which prompt do you think they did the least successfully portray, from your perspective?

-"The end" was probably the least successful out of all in my opinion due to lack of meaning behind the photo and there was no focus in it.

This is one of my favorite photo of the year because it is located in Paris, and theres a great view of the Eiffel tower. In this photo you can see people looking towards the tower and they look really focused and amazed. The sky and clouds make the Eiffel tower stand out more.

This is another favorite photo I have. There is a lot of detail with the fireworks and smoke. Also the colors in this photo make this picture more alive. With a lot of fireworks going off in this image, you can see a man in the middle of the ocean paddling. He seems to be watching the fireworks straight ahead and wanting to go closer. The fire of light of the fireworks makes this photo interesting to look at.

In this photo, there is a volcano erupting. You can see the massive destruction it is going to cause due to how much smoke and the color a little above the volcano. However, this is a good shot in my opinion because you can see almost everything in this image. The color of the sky, it seems to appear as a sunset and a volcano erupting. The clouds of smoke piled on top of each along with the color of the sky caught my eye.
