1. I picked this photo because it was a very symbolic photo of a landing on the moon. It shows how beautiful the earth we live on really is.
2. I like how the photographer set up the photo to where everything is purely dark and the there's a gorgeous pop of blue, the earth.
3. I think this picture mad the top 40 photos because of what it symbolizes, it makes you realize how far mankind has really come.
1. I picked this photo because of the thousand words of pain this picture screams.
2. I like how the photographer set up the photo to where the camera is so close the soldiers face that you can feel what he feels, pain and bravery.
3. I think this picture made the top 40 photos because of the feeling it gives you, it makes you stronger in one way or another, it instills a feeling in you that you can't describe.
1. I picked this photo because it makes you feel as if you're right there with them, fighting for your country.
2. I like how since the photographer is standing in the center of the action, you get a nice peripheral vision of what's occurring.
3. I think this photo made the top 40 because it's timeless, it's part of American history.

Touching People:

1. I really like this project that the photographer has presented, in my opinion, I thought that it was a cool way to represent that there is unity in diversity, we're such a diverse species, its unique to observe how no two people are alike.
2. If someone approached me with a camera and old me to touch a stranger, I would honestly be a little confused, but I'd do it willingly after they explained. 
3. An unusual photo shoot that would be similar to this one would be to photograph someone doing something they've never tried before with someone they've never met before.
4. I thought that in some of the photos, the people didn't mesh well, which in some cases was a good thing, sometimes it made the photo a little less appealing. But in the long run, I did enjoy looking at the photos.

National Geographic:

This was my favorite photo (43/45) because it was a very neat shot with the light shining through the building and the mysterious person down below. The angle and the lighting are both beautiful, however, what really grabbed my attention was the architecture of the building. It's so unique, so bold and different, it makes me really want to study it and observe every detail of the photo.

If I were to take a photo and submit it to the National Geographic Photo Contest, I'd take a beautiful picture in Africa, the sun setting in the back and a silhouette of a tree and an isolated person sitting and contemplating.
