This would be my bad picture. I choose this as my bad picture because it is kinda blurry. Another reason is because he is leaning I would rather have a straight pose standing tall. Thats all that I don't like about the picture other wise I like the lighting on the picture.

This is my good picture that I took during this assignment. I like this picture because i really like the lighting in it. I also think this is one of my good picture because all three of the guys are looking in one direction. The flag in the back ground is a good symbolism for the united states.
