Decisive Moment.


Steve McCurry
This photograph displays decisive moment because this photographer chose to take the shot as soon as the young girl looked into the lens. McCurry didn't wait until she was looking away, or past the lens, but right directly into it. This gives off so much emotion, as if you can look directly into her soul through her iris'. 


Ansel Adams
This photograph definitely displays incredible decisive moment. The couple of people to the right of the photograph mimic the tree that breaks off into two sections, just like they do. The girl who is off to herself mimics the tree breaking off into it's leaves to the side. 


Baron Wolman
This is a great display of decisive moment. The photographer, Baron Wolman snapped a photograph of Hendrix in a moment of heightened excitement. Wolman caught Hendrix at an incredible moment and that is what decisive moment is all about.

Dreams.

Rakeem Cunningham
I have always associated dream-like photography with levitation. I always have several dreams about flying. I think this picture is very well done and very well edited. I love the use of the pillow and the position his body is in, which gives off an intense emotion.

Joe (No last name available)
This picture gives off a dream-like quality to me. I've always dreamed about being able to breathe underwater, or just being underwater and general, so this has that feel to me. The picture isn't entirely in focus and the way the bubbles are rising gives a stronger affect to the picture. 

Justin Leveque
Another under water shot. I love the way her body is positioned in and how her eyes are also closed. It gives off a calming feeling, and a powerful emotion, like she is really feeling something in this moment. The way the bubbles are rising from her hand is beautiful.
