Re-Do Assignment (Portraits)

Portrait of Someone I Don't Know: I took this in the strip district and as soon as I saw this man and his son I knew I could get a good picture.  I like that the colors are so bright in this photo but the man and his son are still the main focus.  I also like that the older man is smiling but his son has a very serious face.
Self-Portrait: This picture really represents me, since I am from Philly, I am a huge Flyers fan, so any chance I can wear my jersey, I will.  I decided to take a picture of myself in my jersey in front of the Penguins arena because it shows that I will wear my jersey anywhere, even in a rivals city.  I actually got yelled at from a man on the street while taking these pictures, but that still didn't stop me! I used some effects in light room to make the orange on my jersey stand out a little more too.

Portrait of Someone I Know: This is a picture of my roomate and her boyfriend. We were walking back to our car after we were done in the strip district and the way that the city was in the background seemed like an interesting place to take their picture.  At this point my camera was about to die so I took this picture before they were ready/smiling and I think it turned out better than the one that they're smiling in.  I like how they are the main focus of the picture despite the fact that there is so much in the background.
