1-The photographer used a candid photograph.
2-The photograph is better in color because you can see the true colors of the dog, and the surroundings that make it stick out.
3-The photos have good framing because they draw in the viewers eyes to keep looking.
4-I did not see any backlighting in this photograph. The lighting overall was used very well, and the photo was taken around mid day.
5-The narration and text is used to tell things about the dogs and why they will be in the dog show.
6-The photos stand alone because then they can all be viewed as an individual by themselves, and not as a whole. They wouldn't be classified as 'dogs' in a dog show, they would be classified as a dog in the dog show.
7-My reaction to this photo, http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1964301_2065309,00.html, was that I really like the dog and all the other dogs in the essay. All of them have their own style and are all different breeds. Not all photo essays illicit a reaction to the readers.
