                                           INFERRING ABOUT FAVORITE PICTURE
                           
     The picture presented above is of my idol, Michael Phelps. By observing this picture, we can see that the photographer intended to take a picture of the 'Baltimore Shark' as he won. I can infer he just became a champion because he is raising his hand up high. From personal knowledge, I can know that sometimes winners rise their hands as a sign of success. Also, I can see that he is a swimmer, because of the pool lanes. These red lanes are used in major championships, and there is also advertisement around the pool. By this signs, I can infer he is a competitive swimmer, maybe even a pro. Finally, by acknowledging his fit body, it is inferred he is not a newby in the pool, but has been training and exercising for a long time. He has also shaved his arm pitts and his beard, so it shows he is swimming an important meet. I can infer this because swimmers that are competing on serious meets shave themselves all over their body. They do to allow water pass through their body in a faster way, therefore gaining more speed. This may be just a picture, but  tells a lot about this swimmer.
