Describing pictures

1. What I like about this picture is the feeling of relaxed summer atmosphere which it conveys (передает); ( of a happy anticipation)

3. What is the photographer conveys is a winter afternoon ( morning, day) full of both light/ shade and both movement and stillness (тишина).
4. What I particularly like about this picture is the way I can  almost (nearly) imagine  myself in the scene. I feel part of the atmosphere ( event).
5. What struck me most of all about this painting was  the intense (naprjazenie). Look on the face of the woman in the foreground.She seems to be ready to defend her pet no matter what consequences.
6. It is the expression of utter (polnoe) happiness on the children's faces that I especially ( particularly) like
7. What I especially admire here is the way the landscape is portrayed though it is only in the background, but it gives ( conveys) the full atmosphere of a splendid spring day. 
8. What particularly appeals to me ( attracts my attention) about this photo is the atmosphere of friendliness / cooperation.
9 What strikes me about the photo is the delicious looking dishes on the table. You feel as if you could actually put out  some  to taste them
10.  It is the most amazing photo I've ever seen. The nature is depicted in soft shades. The weather is favourable for doing sports/ picnic. The people are obviously enjoying themselves, relaxing. On the whole the photo leaves the impressions of happiness.
11.It is the fabulous photo depicting the most intelligent dog who is trained for searching drugs  in luggage in airports. In the background an attendant (employee) is watching the dog in wonder/ amazement. I guess the animal is the favourite pet among the employees.
12. this picture portrays the part of the big city. I can almost hear the noise of the traffic/ people's talks. In the foreground there is an extremaly  modern train- express which moves at a great speed bringing people from one place to another. In the background there are some splendid skyscrapers. The architecture is modern/ rather attractive, though personally I prefer an ancient one.
13. One can't help admiring the beauty of pink flowers in the foreground. Of course, it is summer. The students are having a break between lectures relaxing on the green grass. Some are having snacks, some others are communicating. The building in the background can be the institute. All in all, the atmosphere is warm and relaxing.
14 This photo is rather sad.  In the foreground the policeman is assigning = imposing a fine on a young man who has obviously parked his car in the wrong place. The young man looks quite guilty. He knows that the warden is right, but he has to pay the fine. May be next time he won't be so careless. The law is the law. We are all equal before it.
