I instinctively had a feeling of dislike for this photograph due to the blur, however as I studied it more closely I began to appreciate its qualities. Some who don't have much Formula One knowledge probably wouldn't be able to tell what this is at first, and the blurred effect gives a rather artistic quality.

The power and sexuality that comes across in this photograph is great, yet i don't like how my eye is drawn to a powerful line in the corner created by the reflection of light.

I like the contrast in structure in this photograph, the top is sharp and clear yet the beneath has some sort of flow, which creates a softness, it almost becomes water like as the shadows play with your eyes.

These photographs remind me of Arno Rafael Minkkinen's work, the way nature is used in conjunction with the body. At first glance you can't tell them apart, I enjoy how the body flows with nature in the right hand side, yet don't enjoy the photograph on the left as it is more obvious.

I love the pure element of humour in this photograph.

I love this photograph by Charles Moore, Martin Luther King is being arrested and the photo manages to capture the emotion of everyone in the scene.

I don't like this photograph taken from the Bahrain Grand Prix at the weekend and posted on the BBc website. Although, I like the composition of the track cutting across the frame however I don't like the fact the car is being forced out of the frame, and has little detail due to the lack of focus on it.

My first photo of my camera obscura room! Although the composition is not great, this reminds me of the initial feeling when I woke up this morning to this vision. It is like seeing your first pinhole camera photo developing, only 10 times better. I now need to get a tripod to avoid camera shake on the long exposures.

I love the movement in this photograph.

You have to look closely at this photograph to see the full image, the destruction in the foreground is juxtaposed with the Statue of Liberty in the background, I think this creates a pleasing compostion. This is hightlights by the ghostly colour of the Statue of Liberty, maybe suggesting a change for the better as it comes out of the distance, howver it could also suggest the opposite the good is fading away.

I enjoy the aesthetics of this pinhole photograph by Nancy Spencer and Rebecca Wackler, the naked woman seems abandoned in a beautiful spinning world around her.

I like this photograph taken from the BBC News website, because it look as if the young refugee boy close to the camera is the same who is stood diagonally behind. This gives a strong composition to the photograph, it is as if the young boy is being brought out of his current situation in the photograph.

I love the dreamy composition of this lomo photograph. I think the stark yellow colour adds to the dreamy feel.

This was taken by one of my friends and I came across it on facebook. It was taken in the landscape of Rovaniemi. I like this photograph because it gave me a feeling of a new start and new form of live. The winter is beginning to give in to the rebirth of summer, as vegetation starts to come through, in some ways it can be seen as an image of hope. The way the light highlights the plant enforces this perception.

I simply don't enjoy the asthetics of this photograph. The process of creating an image of such unrealistic quality have never appealed to my taste.

Marja Pirila, Interior/Exterior

This photograph was created using camera obscura, the exterior of the room is brought inside by the use of a small aperture. The notion of camera obscura captured me, and this photograph in particular caught my attention when I was flicking through Pirila's book. The way the photograph is composed gives a ghostly feeling, which is enforced by the over exposure of the girl, taking away some of the details of her face. This photograph also plays a trick on the viewer as the girl looks like she is actually stood outside, where as she is in a room and the outside is being reflected in, giving it a rather poetic quality.
