I chose these 5 because they had the best color. I like how the sky contrasts the ground and makes it look pretty neat. I also like how dark the trees are, it kind of makes it look spooky when it is a perfectly normal area.

Feature:

This image captures the moment after the groundhog made his prediction. Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow and therefore predicts an early Spring. The Photographer could have just taken an all encompassing shot of the crowd and the groundhog, but decided to get in on the action. Not to mention the whole picture could have been in focus, but they decide to place focus on the groundhog. This is meant to highlight his special day. I could see this being a news photo but I think it works better as feature because it is suppose to announce the groundhogs prediction and you do not get an answer by the image alone.

News:

U.S. soldiers bringing back the 3 dead from the attack in Jordan. There were some wide shots of the plane and other U.S. officials looking at the remains, but I thought this photo was more news worthy. Mostly because of President Biden in the background. The technique of photographer puts emphasis on the President’s reaction to his soldiers by leaving him in focus and blurring the rest. It’s not too much to make it unintelligible, but enough to get the point across. It sort of poses the question of what the president will do next after seeing this.
