Photography:
1)My favorite photo is of Chris Lomelli from Guitar strings bring forth passion

1B) rule of thirds
2) The photo of the winners of Bowie idol
2A) you can't really even see one of the winners even though thy should be the main topic
3) Even though photographers didn't take these photos, my favor thing to take pictures of if it was possible would be the article of Andrea traveling to Rwanda because thats very interesting especially because its so different.
4) I think the photography was good in this newspaper. The photographers used a lot of good photo tips and tools.
