I chose this photograph because it has an extraordinary mood to it. Even though this does not fit into any of the three photographs that we were supposed to take, I really liked how it focused on the model's hair. If a viewer just glanced at this photo, he or she would immediately notice her hair. Even though it was not black and white, it fit into our project.

This picture was good because it fit into the angle shot of hair. As everyone can see, this picture is taken from above, and it focuses on the model's hair very well.

This picture also fit into our project, as it is a close-up shot of the model. The viewers would notice the model's hair immediately. The color of her hair also helps the viewers notice it. I also think this could count as a beauty shot. It was hard to crop this picture, because while I was cropping, the banner below the picture came popping up. Therefore there is a black line under the model's face. The picture's supposed to be bigger than this.
