Hi Hiro,

Very nicely written! Just a few suggestions for you:

(1) The word "there" is unnecessary as you started the sentence with "There is". Therefore, the reader should know that a small stream is found in the photo.

(2) We use "a" to refer to general noun. The cameraman is subjecting himself to a general and unknown risk (eg the bear may chase him, the bear may maul him or the bear may sit on him etc.) We use "the" to refer to a specific noun. The cameraman is taking a very specific shot of the bear. Hence, he is taking "the" best shot.

(3) When we introduce something or someone for the first time in a text, we use "a". Thereafter, we can use "the" (3a).

Hope this helps. 

Cheers,

Lance

Would you mind correcting my sentences? If you were me, how would you describe a photo?

[ Picture fourteen]

The photo shows a man and a bear face to face in a beautiful field. There is a small stream. The man photographs the bear. The bear comes close. It looks a little crazy. The bear is bigger than him. I think that he is a pro photographer. He is taking a big risk for the best shot.

Very well written!
