7. Appeal This picture has an emotional appeal. It evokes a feeling of extreme pride and patriotism. What emotion(s) does this picture make you feel?

8. Color There are a lot of blue and white in the background because of the fireworks. The statue is cast in bronze but the current lighting in the picture makes it look gray. The flag is waving in the wind and looks like a red blur.

9. Audience The intended audience is those who were visiting Washington, D.C. and the memorials there. The real audience is everybody who has seen the memorial to those who have lost a loved one who served to those who actually served

10. Technique The photographer used the very little lighting of the fireworks and the flood light to create the mood of the picture
