I like this picture because I like the shadow from the the people's back.  Also I like it when it's black and not much color.

I like this picture because this lady shows a sign to warn people that she's blind and that she's aware what's around her even though she's totally blind.

I like this picture because the color of the girl, makes it pop out and focusing her and NOT the background.  I also like the hat :)
