This image has loaded symbolism - a Muslim woman posing with a photo of a Muslim woman symbolizing that she represents America. The woman posing also has a strong stance and her pose evokes power and confidence.

This photo is very impactful and holds a lot of symbolism that carries a purposeful message just by looking at the main subject of the photo being a Muslim woman in a American flag themed hijab that matches the one of the woman on the poster.

There is a clear purpose to this photo. It shows that Muslim people are just as American as anyone else, and that they are trying to live their daily lives the same as any other person. It's following the rule of thirds well, it draws your eyes to clear focus points.

The woman and the poster are clearly the primary subject of the photo. Both are synchronizing with each other, both are front and center in the image, and are both in clear focus. Their surrounding are merely supporting elements within the composition. The symbolism of the American flag hijabs and the expression on the woman's face gives her a strong sense of moral superiority and an air of confidence and strength. Overall, I feel that this is a great photograph as the emotional impact is clear and the compositional elements are strong. The subject is easily discernable and the background is busy yet not distracting.

This photo has both symbolism and repetition so that the symbolism is established to be more important and easier to recognize. The fact she's looking at the camera and smiling too helps show her as relatable and easy to approach.

This photo holds within a bunch of symbolism with the Muslim woman holding a photo of another mutism woman that is representing america and we the people along with there being a pattern and repetition.

This photo has a political and religious message. She is free in America and proud to be a Muslim. None of the people in the background are facing the camera, which lets the viewer focus only on the subject. There are leading lines and repetition in the composition. She gives the emotion of confidence and strength, as the poster says, "We the people are greater than fear."

I think the unity of the women's outfit and the poster are very cohesive and that there is a lot more in this image to look at than in image 2
