Assignment: This is an exercise in Creative Photography. Choose an appropriate photograph for each verse and capture its essence and message. Write the caption for the photograph. Enhance the human interest effect. Apply the elements of art, mainly composition. Can your work pass for a poster? (Choose any five.)

The kindest words are best expressed in poetry and
illustrated in fine art and creative photography.

even as deep waters and doldrums stake their claim.

in motherhood statement no one goes wrong.

a pie rides on the breeze to where a hungry lies.

spread out to hide my dark and ugly side.

20. Behold! a rainbow and moth in flight
when viewed against the waning light. ~
