Analyzing a Photograph.

        Last week, my professor gave me one assignment to write about a photography book, and explain why it is important to you, the value of a photograph. That is why today I wake up early in the morning to go to the public library and choose one favorite photography book and write about it. I visit a public library recently. It was housed in a great new building. I take 10 minutes to get there. The public library was run by friendly Council staff. I liked to play soccer when I was a child, so when I come the library, first photography book impress me is “Twenty Soccer Superstars” in the world. This photography book mention life and career of twenty soccer players. How can they become a superstar? In this book, it has some pictures mention special events in their career. After I read and saw all the pictures in this book, I decided to choose Cristiano Ronaldo to describe and analyze the value of his picture.

        The picture I was chosen mention when Cristiano Ronaldo helps his team become champions of Euro. He was born and grew up in Portugal. His full name is Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro. His nickname is CR7. Most people who know about soccer love him because he is a great soccer player, he has the perfect skill to control the ball. This photo was taken in 2016 when Portugal triumphed over France to win Euro 2016. When I see the photo, the first thing impress me is trophy he was holding in his hand. It is something very special in the career of any soccer player. Trophy symbolizing the success and glory. In this photo, it means CR7 was holding the success and glory in this hand. Let’s imagine your face when you are holding success and glory in your hand. What are you feeling now? His face last year was the same your face right now. Inside the photo, I can feel he was proud of herself and his team because he was tried practice and practice every day, he was trying to improve his skill and ability to perfect soccer player and help his team become champions. The secondary image I look at after I look at the dominant image is his teammate around him. Their eyes when they were looking at him with the trophy, it contains much meaning inside include admiration, pride with him. He was a great captain of the team. In this photo, we can not see any balance because everything was covered by most people include CR7, his teammate, photographer, and fans. All people in this picture, they are looking for the trophy that Ronaldo is holding in his hand.

        This photo was taken in 2016 at Stade de France stadium. This stadium has the capacity for 85000 people. This is where the organization Euro 2016 finals. This photo shows the moment when CR7 was holding the trophy in his hand. The special thing in this photo is Ronaldo not only one soccer player but also one coach. When he was playing, he got arm injury and go out. Instead of sitting still for health care workers, he stood up and support a teammate. According to Wikipedia, “ The 2016 UEFA European Championship, commonly referred to as UEFA Euro 2016 or simply Euro 2016, was the 15th UEFA European championship, the quadrennial international men’s football champions of Euro organized by EUFA. It was held in France from 10 June to 10 July 2016. The trophy CR7 was holding on the picture is the first-time Portugal become champions of Euro. Portugal had to wait a long time for this moment.
