My favorite picture is the top picture in B1, because its filled with action. Rules of composition show in the picture are Depth, rules of 3rds.

My least favorite picture in the B paper is the bottom picture in B4 because they're not much going on.

I would rate it a 4. Its strong points are stories and the pictures. And I think there are and weak points.
