Academic Shoot.

Simplicity.
I think i followed the rule pretty well, this picture is definitely simple with just a nude colored background, it brings out the subject.
The subject in this picture is the guy, a member of the color guard.
Yes, i think it's very clear to people what the subject is because he's right in the center.
I really like this picture, and i don't think there's much that i could have done differently.



Lines.
This rule was followed okay i guess, but it's not evident what the lines from the lockers are leading to.
The subject in this picture is supposed to be the many kids working against the lockers, outside of the classrooms.
The lines sort of lead you to knowing what the subjects are, but it isn't very obvious.
Something i could have done differently might be taking the picture from a farther out right angle i think.



Mergers.
You can't really not follow this rule, it's supposed to be a bad picture even though i secretly like it, but the picture is bad because it is cutting off the subject.
The subject is the huge, shiny, yellow bus.
You can sort of tell what the subject is but the stop sign my make someone doubtful.
For this picture to be better i would've needed to decide whether i wanted the bus from the back or side view.



Framing.
This rule is okay, but it happened on accident.
I am the subject, or the reflection of me anyways.
Yes, i think you see what the subject is because your eyes are sort of drawn to it since it's just a shadow.
This just isn't really a framed picture, i would've chosen a different frame like tree leaves or something.

Balance.
I followed the rule well, there is a person on either side of the table and you see the whole table so no one is falling off or anything.
There are two subject, the teacher/tutor and the student.
I think you can tell what the subject is because they're the center of the picture but someone might be confused since there is two.
The one thing i think would've made this photo better is if the background wasn't so busy.

Rule of Thirds.
Special Guest: Robert Gonzales.

This rule was followed good, but was also an accident. 

Our special guest, is the subject. 

Yes, its evident what the subject is, i think it's more effective because the subject is a little off centered. 

This picture could have been made better if that tablet behind the computer was moved it create sort of a merger and is somewhat distracting.
