This was a fun project! I enjoyed have the chance to try and get different types of shots. The first picture I wanted to try and get a picture in my room, so I stood in the middle and looked around.  The thing that stuck out to me most was my necklaces hanging on the wall, so I tried to get a cool angle on one.  Also I wanted to focus only on one, but still see the others in the back. The next photo called Keys was in the Spori while I was doing some very stressful homework, I decided to take a break and get my pictures. The piano stuck out to me so I decided to get it as my subject.  I used the macro button so that I could make the dept swallow.  Then I added a exposure adjustment to give it a cool look.  Night picture was taken over at the cute businesses by the car dealership and the middle school.  The buildings over there have a really cute look to them. The only problem is that I really had my flash, and I have not invested in a tripod... so I had to hold the camera firmly on the ground to make it not blurry. View- My niece and nephew were at my apartment while my sister and I were hanging out. They were looking out the window, and it looked so cute that I thought I'd snap their picture.  This is through my front window screen, while she was eating some crackers which explains her expression :).  In friends, my roommate were walking to ward prayer. Since ward prayer is very much apart of sunday and it was raining, I thought it was the perfect picture to represent the day.  This picture was the most labor intensive because I had to change the middle sweater by cutting it out and then replaced its color from brown to green.  Then I desaturated it and masked out the other jackets. After that there were some light spots all over the picture, so I used the healing tool on those. Sarah- I decided that I wanted to do a photo shoot with my pretty friend Sarah, so we went to the Gardens while it wasn't raining and just took some random photos.  I like this one because of the reflection in the water  that looks neat! The last is Devo.  I really wanted to get a picture of devotional because it is such a huge part of my life! This semester I have the opportunity to be the devotional ushering director, so in this picture I wanted to get the hustle and bustle that happens 5 minutes before devotional starts!

Good job with the black and white sweater photo! It was labor intensive but it looks awesome! I also like your view photo. That was a good idea to take a shot from the other side of a window. Awesome!!

I have two favorites, the picture of the girl looking out of the screen and the close up of the necklace. You have great composition, these pictures are stunning with pristine goodness.
