After 10 minutes. i picked the one that was tittled "April Rain Song"April Rain SongLet the rain kiss youLet the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid dropsLet the rain sing you a lullabyThe rain makes still pools on the sidewalkThe rain makes running pools in the gutter The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at nightAnd I love the rain. Langston Hughes

This is my favoite photo. It's a mix between a portrait and a candid i think. The depth of field was very shallow because the people in the background weren't too far away, and yet they are out of focus. It also has a bit of the rule of thirds.

I really like this photo because of the story it tells.
Most portraits include a face which give away the emotion and tone
the photograph is trying to portray. The sock on the
girl shows a sign of carefree and fun with the stripes. And not being able
to see her face and seeing her arms in the
arm also gives a feeling of wonder and youth, that's why i like it.

10 National Geographic June 1985Photographer Steve McCurry immortalized the haunted eyes of a 12-year-old refugee in a camp on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Helicopters destroyed her village and family, forcing her to make a two-week trek out of the perilous mountains of Afghanistan. The photo became a National Geographic icon after it was published on the cover in June 1985. Since then, the untouched image has been used on rugs and tattoos, making it one of the most widely used photos in the world.This is my favorite because of the lightingon the girl's face and and the way he eyes are illuminated,as well as the composition and framing.

Cover types

1. Early Magazine Covers: The Early Magazine covers in the beginning looked more like book covers, nothing was really said about the contents of the magazine. Plain covers appeared without any cover lines indicating the contents or one or two lines under the main title.

2. The Poster Cover: From the 1890s to the 1960s, one main type of cover was used, it was not the ONLY one, but many other magazines took after it and, it was used as a standard. The covers of many of these oversized magazines looked like paintings that should be on walls. This article defines the poster cover in a slightly looser way, to include covers with the title coving the art, and contains a small cover line announcing the theme.

3. Pictures Married to Type: While many magazines had artful poster covers, others relied heavily on the words to draw readers inside in a better than the art alone could. It is not clear when cover lines first appeared, but it was early in the history of the magazine cover. By the 1800s, cover lines were common, and in the 1900s, magazine cover lines started the ongoing words that they still have now.

4. In the Forest of Words: For most magazines at the turn of the 21st century, cover lines were as important as cover art. In some cases, cover lines and cover art went together better than the Magazine's name. The 2000s are so filled with magazine's that have tons of cover lines, and they are more important that the magazine itself.
