Action: They are waving to the sunset, because they are happily saying goodbye to the day, waiting for the next.
Composition: This pic has a beautiful purple color that slowly turns to orange, and yellow.
Lighting: The picture is very dark, and only has one light source, making it so you cant see the kids.

Photography

1. I see photography being used in popular magazines and such.                                                                     2.A photographer takes and shares photos for the viewers who enjoy the nature of the photos.                       3. Photographers do try to share who they're are, and they're feelings through photos that they show to the world.                                                                                                                                                         4. Photographers try to influence people to show their personality and likes to those who have the same, so they can also have a connections.                                                                                                                   5. I am interested in photography because of how taking photos of the environment gives me a good feeling, especially when its a pretty picture.
