Dreams Of Flying

I find this photo very interesting. It is a great use of everyday things to make it look like the boy is standing on a building. It is something that everyone can pick up as king kong as well. It also adds to the photo that the boy is wearing clothes that makes it look like monkey hair. Although I don't understand why the doll in his hand has no clothes.

I love this photo, it might just be because I love Harry Potter. It shows two wizards playing quidditch. I like the way Jan Von Holleben positioned the robes so it really looks like the people are flying. It also adds to the photo that there is nothing going on in the background so that you focus on the two kids.

This photo is another movie based picture. I like the way that they are positioned so it looks like a real battle scene from Star Wars. It's also cool that he used regular items or outfits to look like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vador. The area that this photo was taken is also perfect because they found a spot that they now look like they're standing rather than flying like the other ones.
