Wow! Your title slide colors are pretty intense. Did you photo shop?

I like your side-by-side trees. The left side looks like it's burning up -- like the tree in hell...
Good use of quotation -- very concrete demonstration of its meaning. The two side-by-side photos have very different tones.

It looks cool, but the pictures are all of trees. Also I was very frightened by that strange scary looking girl in one of the pictures as well.

All of your pictures are very intense. In the second photo I really like how there is the one white tree in the center of the picture and the rest of the pictures are all black, it makes it really stand out. For the third picture, i like your use of two different pictures with affects put on them. It really portrays the meaning of the quote i think, because although the pictures are the same, the look very different. Finally, the fifth picture is very creepy yet interesting. I like how katelyn's face and the walls are the same color, and how her eyes stick out in the photo.

The first picture is amazing, the tone and quality of the color and the light shining the the trees gives a great effect. I also liked the picture of the trees in junction with the quote that you selected. It points out how very different a scene can look from two points of view.

I also liked your black and white trees with the white tree bisecting the whole thing. Kind of goes with the idea of the quotation -- black or white, dreary or not with no in between. In this case I guess it's dreary! It's almost like your eye tries to cross the line into something else but it can't. It remains dreary.

Going back to that crazy, colorful first photo -- it is almost overwhelming, just like Usher's reaction to colors and light. I imagine that's how an everyday, normally colored and lighted scene appears to him.
