8. Iceberg
This is an example of how she gets
her shots of photograph
The ice is shaped like a heart and
reason being that the environment
factors like wind caused it
I like the why she gives focus to the
ice shape yet having the background
surroundings in view as well , it gives
me a good overall view with ease

9. Another picture I like as I said before
the balance that she gives for her
object of focus and the background
are to that you can see the breathing
space given to the seal in the picture
giving it attention and yet the
background you see blends right in
letting them compliment each other

10. Her pictures of animals focus well on
them and also the light contrast of the
penguins here have a good balance
with the snow making the photo a
good shot

12.  In this photo the bears are shown in their environment
the brightness of the picture between white polar bear
fur and the snow itself are well adjusted
 The pictures composition also makes you want to look
at it as a whole after the polar bears have been noticed
making the picture a balanced one

13. This picture close up of the seal is
really simple and I like it as it shows
a close up view focusing the animal
itself , also the picture has good
white balance and exposure of light.
