                  I like this photo because the flower is beautiful and it looks like it is very alive.

This photo looks very ghostly in a way, but unique. It looks like the light is shining on top of her, and that she is powerful. 



I like this photos because it is very beautiful in black and white. I can see the light on the flower that makes it bright.
