Some challenges I encounter when trying to get photos while following the set rules were finding the right angle from which to take the picture, finding a good subject, and getting good lighting.
While I was taking photos the technical aspect that I thought about the most were following the rules of photography. For example, in the photo of the art student at the table, my main focus was on getting her situated in the corner of the photo, and in doing so, I was also able to capture what she was drawing.
If I were to do this shoot again, I would get more simplistic photos and more images that were framed. I would also be more thoughtful of avoiding mergers.
If I were to do this shoot again, I would still get multiple shots of each subject and I would still focus on the rules of photography.
In the next set of prompts, I anticipate the Rule of Thirds to be the easiest rule to achieve, with Lines being the next easiest.
In the next set of prompts, I anticipate getting a Simple background being the hardest rule to achieve, with Balance the next hardest.
I am still not entirely clear on balance, and I will reread the article from before, or find another reliable source from which to learn the rule, in order to completely understand the rule.

Nora's quality of photos is amazing, particularly the fifth photo, the boy in the dark green shirt looking at the ecosystem with a fish, rocks, and a couple of plants, where the balance in the photo is great. Another awesome picture is the first photo, the fish in the PetCo. bag, where the rule of thirds is obvious and carried out splendidly.
The only thing that I would change about the images, would be to chose a photo where the background is less busy.
