I like this photo because it's simple, but is also a great shot. A giraffe in the front with Mount Kilimanjaro as a backdrop.

I chose this photo because of where it is. This is Joe Kittenger descending towards the earth in the highest skydive. I also like how he isn't centered in the shot, but is actually to the left of the picture. This allows us better vision of what's in front of him.

This is a great photo because the distance and angle of the photographer makes it look like that this person is holding the sun as it sets.

I like this photo because of where it is taken. The photographer and those three people are on Mount Eyjafjallajoskull, a live volcano
