Varsity Cheerleaders Photo
I think this photo was well done. It has a simple background which makes the subjects stand out. There is balance in the picture and the subject are the cheerleaders. There is a medium depth of field because the players can be seen in the back. 


Science Fair Photo Two
This is a solid photo because it shows the whole board with lots of detail. The lighting helps the picture be more clear. There is rule of thirds, and the  subject is the project. It is exposed well and has a deep depth of field. 

Peaceful ProtestersThis photo is good because it leads me to read the article. It is well lit and balanced. It also has rule of thirds and leading lines. The main subject is the man and his sign. Exposure is good, and not a deep depth of field.

Student Gymnast Photo One
The photo is good and filled with action. It is kind of bright so it could be a little darker. It has leading lines and the girl is the main subject. There is a deep depth of field. 

Principal Search
This is a good picture because it has a lot of details. The lighting is good and everything is very sharp in the picture. The rule is balance and the woman is the subject. good exposure and shallow depth of field.  

Entire Paper
My favorite picture is the one of the gymnast because it looks really cool and has lots of action.
 It has a good depth of field.

My least favorite ones are the pictures of students in Bulldog Speak out and the first science fair photo. They are boring and could be improved by having a more exciting subject. 

I would have liked to shoot the gymnastics because it has a lot of action and it is interesting. Gymnastics is the most exciting topic in this magazine.

I would rate this issue three out of five stars. It has good photos and the stories are well written. Its just that the stories themselves are kind of not interesting topics.
