1) this photo is good to me because it has a focal point towards the tree, and has contrast in the photo
2) i like this photo because it was kind of hard to take because i was in the middle of a roller coaster ride while taking it
3) it inspired my theme because when i think of a dead tree, i think of crows or starlings flying through the sky
4)i didnt choose other images, i made my background analogous though
5) focal point, space, contrast, repetition
