40 greates photos taken

I picked this photo, because it made me happy. I am a strong believer in same sex marriage and homosexuals having equal rights as straight people. I absolutely hate it when people joke about things being "so gay" as if it's a bad thing. I love how the photographer set this photo up, because it's just the two women, as if nothing else matters but their happiness. There is nothing in the background or anything to distract from them and how happy they are. I think this photo is apart of the top 40 photos ever because it shows so much in just one simple picture. Why should anyone or anything stop us from being happy, same sex marriage included. Woman and a woman, man and a man, man and a woman; happiness is happiness and it doesn't matter what people think is "right" or what people believe is in the Bible, as long as you are happy.

I picked this photo because it fills me with mixed emotions. This dog loves his owner so much, that even when he is gone, the dog is still with him. This picture really shows the bond between us and our pets, and how they are more than just our pets, they are out family. This dog is so loyal to it's owner, it's willing to sit in the dirt to be near him or her. This is a really sweet picture, and that is why I like it so much. I like how the photographer used the rule of thirds, and made the main subject at the bottom of the picture; it makes it more interesting. I think this made the top 40 photos ever, because of the connection between human and pet, and because it is so simple, yet it shows so much.

I like this photo, because it captures what is going on so well. The photographer focused on the soldier giving the little boy the folded up flag, so well. I want to cry when I see this photo because it makes me think, what if that was me? What if my dad was in the army, died, and I had to accept his flag for him? I wouldn't be able to keep myself together. I think this photo made the top 40 because it shows a struggle that so many families go through, whether it's American families or families in another country. Loosing a family member, especially a father, is really hard. This boy shows strength, that not a lot of people have. This picture shows that we all need to be strong in tough situations, no matter how hard it is.
