SAMPLE ENTRY

• File Name: johndoe-10-portrait-the_eye1
• Title of Photo: “The Eye”
• Student Name: John Doe
• Grade Level: 10
• Category: Portrait
• Description: Using the Macro lens setting, I took a close-up shot of my friend’s eye.  I purposely used a black background, and was trying to remove any trace of reflection in the pupil.  I think this close-up portrait showcases a strong understanding of “The Rule of Thirds”.
