First picture: 
The photo looks like it has been taken at country side perspective location at mid-afternoon
Its an image of a woman hanging clothes on an electric line which seems really dangerous
In the scene she is depending on the ladder for support on the power lines 
In the picture we can see sheep in the foreground , and an empty field in the background, clothes hanging on the electric lines, she is wearing yellow protective gloves, and clear skies are shown in the background
The girl seems very calm in the situation that she is in even thought its very dangerous 
Our attention is drawn to the spot where the ladder and the power lines very meet 
The photo is very light, and it has a reliving feeling 
The photo makes us feel like nothing can go wrong but really something can and it's very serious
The picture makes us think about what is something to fear and what is not that scary after all
It looks like a different point of view from someone else's perspective 
The photographer mainly uses bright colors clear blue skies .and a nice country side feeling 
The photographer uses the clear blue sky to express the calmness of the situation 
He probably wants to criticize what one person sees as safe 
It appears to me that danger is not danger if we don't see it as such 


Second picture:
It looks like it has been taken on a lake, modern time
It's an image of a lake that has shattered glass at the end with dead fish, and a guy who has been rowing and stopped to look at what has happened.
The image is about a guy who has ended his row boat and sees that at the end of the lake there is shattered glass, and dead fish, and he is questioning what had happened.
In the picture you can see dead fish, a confused man, shattered glass, and a lake in the background
The man looks like he is confused 
The viewers attention goes directly from the man to the shattered glass
The picture looks vivid, disturbing, and dark which it could mean that there are several problems in his world
The photo makes us feel disturbed and concerned
The picture makes us think what is real and what is not, if something is really perfect is it really perfect underneath and that can go for people
It looks like the perfect lake is covering secrets, and dead fish
The photographer mainly uses light colors to restore the layers
The photographer uses little problems to express the big problems that are happening in the world
He wants to criticize how people express themselves
It appears to me that one day you have a perfect day then the next the whole world knows what your life is really like.
