OBJECTIVE OBSERVATION (What do I see in the photograph?)
Now it is your turn to practice objective observation. Write all the things that you see in the photograph. Be as detailed as you can. Remember, describe only what you see and do not interpret the photograph.

SUBJECTIVE OBSERVATION (How do I interpret the photograph?)
Study the photograph again. Think about the details that you wrote for the objective observation and make some inferences. Write down your subjective observations. Don't worry about being correct. Just use reason.
