3. Not enough strong singles, all of the pictures felt the same, the good pictures made the others look bad.
4. The back grounds, the good graphics.
5. I not really a fan of this photographer because how she sometimes focuses on the dark side and it just gives off a weary, and dark mood.

2.
a. What did the judges note as strengths as they were critiquing it?
b. What do you see as strengths? Do you see any weaknesses?

Winning portfolio
1. Angles, Picture with every subject doing something, cool shots like the water droplets one, and they like the interesting moments in a game that was photographed.
2. I like how the photographer used angles to create more emotion or depth in the pictures.

3.
a. briefly describe the process the judges went through in deciding the winner.

1. They looked at the strengths and the weaknesses of the portfolios and eliminated the bad ones. They picked Dustin's portfolio because he had no bad pictures and had skill and used his skills while taking and editing his pictures.

Part 2.
watch parts A and 1 - 7.

1. I agree with the judges on the base ball picture with the 3 holes showing a subject each. I agree that the picture was not very strong and needed more action. ( portfolio #2)

2. Assuming "1" is the best picture, I disagree with the sumo wrestler getting 1st on the 4th video. I thought the baseball player under the rainbow showed great lighting from the yellow sky to the subject being a silhouette. I also liked the use of point of view putting the subject right under the rainbow. The sumo wrestler picture was great with the originality and the black and white, but I think the Baseball player under the rainbow should've gotten first.
