Impact –  the sense one gets upon viewing an image for the first time. Compelling images evoke
laughter, sadness, anger, pride, wonder or another intense emotion. The initial impact should
evoke a sense of what agricultural education is.

Creativity – the original, fresh, and external expression of the imagination of the maker by using
the medium to convey an idea, message or thought.

Composition –  important to the design of an image, bringing all of the visual elements


together in concert to express the purpose of the image. Proper composition holds the viewer in
the image and prompts the viewer to look where the creator intends. Effective composition can
be pleasing or disturbing, depending on the intent of the image maker.

Story Telling – refers to the image’s ability to evoke imagination in what is happening in the
photograph. Photographs should tell a story about what agricultural education means to you.
