My Very First Picasa Slideshow

After many trial and errors, I've finally figured out the slideshow feature of Picasa.  These three pictures each capture a different scene from College Park, Maryland. The first is taken from the my floor in Denton Hall, the second is from Baltimore Avenue, and the third is at a parking lot on my way to class. I believe the first one is my best photo so far, capturing excellent resolution, color contrast, and white balance. I believe I did a good job following the rule of thirds, with each car in a separate third. It also displays repetition and uses shadows effectively, with the bordering shadows almost acting as a frame.

The second photo, although not the best, does do a good job capturing an action scene, in which a car is merging onto the highway. It provides good use of foreground and background, with high resolution of the front car, but lower resolution of the distant cars. The white balance isn't excellent, but I do like the color balance and the angle of perspective.

The third photo is the first of mine to display disorder within order, referencing the center car which is backed into its space, unlike the other vehicles which simply pulled in front first. The color contrast, white balance, and resolution are definitely top notch, and the rule of thirds is followed as well. I can definitely notice my improvement as I take more and more photographs.
