Varsity cheerleaders prepare for national competition
Bowie's varsity cheerleaders attended their national competition on February 10th in Orlando, Florida. A tragic accident happened when on of their main flyers got injured but the team still moved on and had to preform without her. Cheerleading take a lot of hard work and is a really challenging sport. The important thing that the cheerleaders take with them is that competitions aren't all about winning, it's about the bonding experience.

Varsity cheer photo
The photo was taken on a very good scale. The photo has good lighting and the cheerleaders pop out. The main subject is the cheerleaders. The photo IS exposed properly. The photo has a medium depth of field because the football players are visible in the background.
Science fair photo number two
The picture is good because it reveals the full project board, the student and the judge. The lighting in this photo is good. The composition rule of this photo is the rule thirds. The main subject is the science project. The photo is exposed properly and has a depth of field.
Peaceful Protesters
I like this photo because it has a really appealing tone to it. The lighting is spot on. The composition rule is the rule of thirds and leading lined. The main subject in this photo is the man in the mask. The photo IS very well properly exposed. No evidence of depth of field because the phone doesn't go back very far.
Student gymnast photo number one
Photo has a lot of fun action going on. Good lighting but it could be a little darker. The composition rule is leading lines. The girl on the balance beam is the main subject. The photo would be better if it was exposed a little more. The depth of field shows as being deep.
Principal search
Good photo. it contains quite a few details. Tremendous lighting and everything in the picture stands out. The composition rule of this photo is the rule of balance. The interim principal is the main subject. Good exposure in this photo and the depth of field is deep.
Thoughts on the entire paper
My favorite photo was the gymnastics photo. The picture is my favorite because I think a back-hand spring on the beam is such a cool trick. The photo contains leading lines and depth of field.
My least favorite picture is the picture of the students in the Bulldog Speak Out and the very first science fair photo. They don't have very much "pop" to them and not very interesting.
I personally would like to do/ shoot gymnastics because there is constant motion and it is a very interesting sport. Gymnastics was the most interesting topic in this newspaper. 
I would rate this issue of The Lone Star Dispatch is a 5 out of 5 stars. I would rate the newspaper 5 stars because the photos are great and the text has good details. Some things that could be improved in this newspaper are the work on the photos and other minor things.
