Blue Iceberg

This photograph was taken by Maria Stenzel near Candlemas Island in the South Sandwich Islands. I like this photo because of the color of the icebergs and how they contrast to the sky above them and also to the water below them. I like how the photographer didn't zoom in all the way on just the iceberg so the viewer could see the contrasting colors. I also like the penguins, because they're awesome.

Married Couple

This photograph was taken by Elliott Erwitt in 1955. I like this photograph because of the frame. The car door and the window of the car frame the couple kissing. I like how the photographer used angles to get the perfect shot through the window and the newly weds. I also like how the car door is out of focus so it puts more emphasis on the couple kissing.
