The picture was taken by Marsel van Oosten, its of a Japanese macaque who stole the phone from a tourist. the lighting of the picture is coming from the water, the main point of the photograph is the monkey holding the phone in his hand like a normal human. The picture looks so good because the monkey stood still and it’s a very good quality picture. The photographer is trying to communicate that Iphones aren’t only meant for humans. I picked this picture because you will never see a Japanese macaque using a Iphone in Oregon.

Gotcha!, by Marsel van Oosten Lighting from the sun was used in this photo the sun is coming from the left because of how the shadow is. The main point is the lizard about to eat a beetle. This composition is this picture is perfect because of how perfectly the picture was timed and how it came out so nice and how he blurred out the background so the viewers eyes woudlnt get distracted. I picked this photo because of how perfectly he time out the picture to get the best possible picture.

This picture was taken by Marsel van Oosten I don’t know where it was taken but its of a ant pushing a drop of water. This picture has natural lighting, the main point is the water drop getting pushed by an ant. You could tell because the rest of the back ground is blurred out. I picked this picture because of how perfect it looks and how often do you see a picture of a ant pushing a drop of water? Also the bottom of the drop of water is really clear and the to top isn't.

Фотограф by Marsel van Oosten Natural lighting was used in this picture coming probably from the sun it must be coming from the front the back of the picture. The main part of the picture is the monkey looking straight at the camera you could tell because the rocks on the ground and his hands lead to that part. The composition is makes the photograph look better because the monkey hands are blurred out but the monkey face is perfectly still and looks so clear. The photographer is trying to communicate that where not the only ones who take selfies and I picked this photo because the animal is looking straight at the camera.

Wanna Play? by Marsel van Oosten The light is coming from the snow in the picture its everywhere, the main point is the monkey holding a snowball in his hands I could tell because the rest of the picture is white snow. The composition makes it looks better because the animal is looking straight at the camera without moving and also theirs no distractions in the background that take away from the main point. I think the photographer wants us to think that the animal wants to have a snow ball fight, I picked this picture because of how perfect everything is.
