I liked letter C the best because the clothes were really cute and the lighting was used really well. They models were posed well and the focus on their facial expressions, and as well as the focus from the camera were really good.
I didn't like letter B because there wasn't even that many pictures of clothes and the backgrounds were weird. The mood just really set me of, and it questioned me that if I were ever to need a photography business to do something for me, if I would hire them.

I scored the C website photos a 6 because the lighting weren't great in my opinion. The facial expressions looked corny, and the mood was sad to me. The reason it wasn't a 7 was because of the backgrounds, i thought those were good. The poses were typical and the people didn't really pull it off. The photographers focus was good too, very well taken, just not my favorite.

I think that E was the best because it looked more professional and had better lighting, mood, focus, and great background location compared to all of the others. I thought that F was the worst because it had weird Facial expression and poses. I think that all of the other were good just not as good as E.

I liked A the best because the lighting was darker which made her bright green dress really pop and the neutral colored purse made of animal fur complimented the forest background. The purse is what drew my attention so I feel the photographers main focus was the lightly colored fur bag.
I did not find B appealing or explicate enough. Her hair covered up half of her face not exposing her true beauty and I felt the expression on her face was almost depressed when I feel it should have been a little more uplifted to combine with the colorful background and her gorgeous bright red hair. The pose the photographer used didn't seem to work very well. She just didn't look very attractive.

1:4 Optic---Because the *Lighting* was very well used. It didn't wash out any of the models faces but there was enough to be able to see them. Also the pictures were very *Focused* and crisp. The *Poses* that the models did were not crazy or random but they were flattering and in my mind helped sell the product.

7:Cart Right---Because the *Mood* did not fit the outfit or anything that they used in the *Background*. Also the hair and makeup of the models was just too weird for me.

site 6 acually shows the pictures of everythingfrom nature to fashion. while site 3 lacked the images, making it look more like a military grid than a fashion photo site.

I really liked C because the pictures were focused on the models facial expression and the lighting was very good, I also liked how they were posed. I thought the back ground was a good fit.
I didn't like B very well. I thought the pictures were kinda boring. I didn't like the mood at all.

Site A was my favorite because i like how the background always somehow resembled or went with whatever they were showing. I like how in the beginning its light around the people but gets darker towards the edges. The Mood resembles the clothes and a lot are basic but work well. I did not enjoy G because I found most of the props and poses to not be nice to look at. Extremely weird and crazy and just not good pictures to me.

I thought letter "a" was the best because it advertised the product well. Also, the models were very good and their expression described the product. The best part was the settings and backgrounds in these pictures, they were fantastic.
I didn't like letter "e" for several reasons. one, the backgrounds were very boring. Also, the models didn't show off the product very well.

I liked D the most because the pictures are very high fashion and it appeals to me more then some of the other editorials. Their poses really stand out to me because they are not the typical model pose. The facial expressions are great and go along with the setting and background as well as the outfits and makeup.
C was my least favorite because they all looked highly photoshopped and it didn't look good at all. It changed the mood of the picture from serious to dumb because it didn't look well. The focus was mostly on the background, but since it looked so bad, it made the model look bad.

I liked E the best because they did not keep using the same facial expressions, locations, or poses as much as all of the sites did.
they didn't keep that sad or serious mood like the other sites did.
I didn't like D because they kept using the same facial expression and the lighting was distracting to me. They also seemed to focus all of the pictures the same way and their style bored me.

I liked 'D' because it used a very unique focus of lighting. It highlighted certain features of the models. I also liked the variety of facial expressions on the models. It helped convey a mood better than just having them pose.
I didn't like 'B' due to the fact that some of the poses were extremely awkward and created an uncomfortable mood. The facial expressions didn't quite match the atmosphere of the shot on any of the pictures. There were also a few unfocused images. One thing I did like though was the variety of backgrounds. But that was it.

I thought that A was the best because the Background-locations most of the time had something to do with what the person was wearing. Also the poses were good. they were not doing anything unprofessional, they had serious facial Expressions when the photos were taken. G was my least favorite
because the Mood of some of the pictures were terrible and most had no lighting at all. The focus was mainly on the old days and I don't really like those kind of pictures.

I ranked 4-optic as the best of the fashion photos, because I thought that the models' poses and facial expressions looked more normal and realistic compared to the other sites. The lighting on this site really enhanced the faces of the models. I thought that the background locations helped the viewer to imagine the clothing in everyday events.
I ranked catright as the least successful fashion site, because the models' poses were really abnormal. Also, the focus wasn't really on the clothing itself, it was more directed towards the creepy makeup.

The Roy Cox photography was my favorite. All the pictures seemed really crisp and clear so they had a very decent focus. Most of the facial expressions were very serious and that kind of caught my attention because it wasn't a joking around matter because of all the seriousness. The poses didn't seem like they were too thought out. They were kind of just like put your arm here or here. It wasn't anything too difficult or planned.Most of the backgrounds were outside and the mood was pretty serious. I didn't like the Richard Avedon photography. Some of the focus was blurry and not too crisp. There poses seemed too thought out and planned and that seemed kind of like they were trying too hard. Their facial expressions seemed like they were confused all the time. The backgrounds were mostly in studios and by elephants strangely enough. The mood seemed kind of confused and sometimes happy. Overall I didn't really like these photos.

E had a lot of different backgrounds and poses that made each picture seem different and kept the albums interesting. Their lighting ranged from darker to bright and cheery.
I didn't really like the moods that G had. It just looked too creepy and it didn't make sense at all to me with the whole dead skeleton type of thing. They all felt the same and the lighting just seemed a bit too bright in some photos and made the mood seem to light and happier than it should have been.

1)d The lighting in these were all done very nicley I thought. And they were all in focus, and the subject was pretty clear. And they all had nice facial expressions, that flattered them, and I thought most the locations were pretty, and controlled.

-I loved (b)cartright.com because they used a lot of natural lighting, which is my favorite. The focus is almost always directly on the model so it creates a very clear picture. The mood varies from shot to shot but overall gives you a breath taking feeling, like being suspended in time for just one moment. The facial expressions also felt more realistic than in other sites' photos, along with the poses as well. I think the backgrounds are more visually stimulating then the other websites pictures.
-I did not like (a)imagefactorywest.com because the poses felt too posed! Meaning, not natural and over the top. The lighting was done bad because half the time I couldn't see the models face, which I don't think was intentional. The focus was misleading, the picture made you feel one way, while the facial expression on the model made you feel another way. The backgrounds were cheap and cheesey, creating a fake/uneasy mood.

I liked A because the people fit with their background,the lighting brought attention to the person then to the background.I didn't like C because it was really really boring and plain.

1.c. I like it because there was a big variety and good poses that were all very different and creative. Also I like the mood of the majority of the pictures. There was a lot of different lightings and there was a lot of different types of editing that made them more interesting to look at.

7.b. I thought this one was the worst because I didn't like the backgrounds they used. Also some of the facial expressions were bad, like you could tell the model was trying really hard to look serious. Also the focus was weird in some pictures and it looked like the models were cut out of a picture a put on a different background, so they look fake.

1) F. I liked the layout of the website and the lighting of the pictures didn't annoy me. There are also a few pictures that were so weird I had to stop and stare. I tried to keep on moving but I didn't get anywhere. These pictures are meant to hold. --if one observes the brilliance of a girl striding through a field of wheat, the stereotypical response would be: Meh. However, a girl basking in the suns rays, the lighting of the picture radiating off her bronze skin and seeming to bake the grass around her and giving it a shade of brown that's entirely wonderful; the resulting picture is why I gave this website the full rating of excellence.

7)B. I disliked B for so many reasons that I'll try and paraphrase. First: on the matter of the websites layout, that homepage annoyed me, the computer lagged to bring up a simple menu which made the experience annoying. The picture itself didn't bother me until I'd gotten into the real photos, the beauty tab, and found that all the pictures were random and didn't relate to the hipstery on the first page. Their focus, in relation to relativity, was on random objects, hearts, suits, and of course: a butterfly. It's obviously not beautiful or hipster enough if we don't have butterflies fluttering around spreading heartfelt vibes. Second, A floaty orb-like thing made of metal strands? This is absolutely radiating beauty! This is where I left the website. Most of the pictures barely even allude to fashion.

I liked 'D' because it used a very unique focus of lighting. It highlighted certain features of the models.Their poses really stand out to me because they are not the typical model pose.It helped convey a mood better than just having them dimply pose.
I didn't like 'B' because of the poses were really awkward and created an uncomfortable mood for me. The facial expressions didn't quite match the atmosphere of the shot on any of the pictures. There were also a few unfocused images. One thing I did like though was the variety of backgrounds.
S. Reyes-Chavez
1)B- I realy like this one the best. The back ground and the set up of the model reminds me of eve. It looks very clean and I like how the only expression you see from the model is in her eyes.
2)A - I like the set up of the shot. The background and the costume remind me of a woodland fairy. Don't really like the expression on the models face thought she could have played into the charicter more.
3)E- Like the emotion of the diffent shots. Didn't really like the first male model he kind of looked plastic.
4)G- Like the different back ground of this. Thought it was kind of neet that you have some one who looks like they are from the 40's with the elephants. I also really like the black and white.
5)D- Don't rellly like this one dont like the lighting, model or the bak ground. I don't really feel like it tells a story.
6)F- I don't like this on either. Too much make up don't like the lighting and just looks fake.
7)C -I listed C as my least favorite when I pulled it up I couldn't get the pict to come up.
