My favorite picture is the one of the girl in her bathing suit holding a popsicle by Judith Joy Ross. This represents the rule of thirds because the main focus in the picture is in the far left third. I feel like this photograph utilizes the frame because at first, your eye is drawn to the left, where the girl is standing and smiling. Then your eye wanders to the right, where there is an empty dirt road. the background is blurry and makes me wonder what is behind her. The photograph has meaning to me because it makes me remember my summers in Maine as a child. I look at this photograph and think of being in a campground on a lake as a child, which is something I used to do.
