http://petapixel.com/2014/12/31/10-photography-resolutions-new-year/ on this article the author is talking about the 10 new years resolutions she had made. she talks about how we need to put more faith in our work and not be afraid of negative reactions. something else she talks about is how we should not be afraid of people critiquing our work and should learn from it. she said we need to take more photos of ourselves and see it as fun rather than a job. i chose this photo because of the way the character stood out in the rain and mist. some of the rules it followed were simplicity, avoid merging, and framing. the photo was taken by Jenna the photographer who wrote the article. all of the photos had a person in the middle except the last photo. they seemed to be surrounded by nature or had some nature in the photo. and most of them had the same person as the subject.
