The picture had a good focus on the lights on the cieling. It also captures the lighting of the sky. You can also see the light reflecting off of the wall. It was also taken from a good angle.

Individual Images

1. Describe one photo that you agree with the judges on. Explain why you and the judges do or do not like it.
The picture with the soccer girl and the soccer on the floor i agree that it needs more in the picture and that the background is not good because it has a car and it catches your attention when it really shouldnt.

2. Describe one photo that you do NOT agree with the judges on. Explain why you think the judges are wrong.
I disagree with the judges on the picture with the guy holding a basketball. I think that it was a good photograph.

Winning Portfolio: Dustin Snipes
What did the judges note as strengths as they were critiquing it?
They had good color and compostion and they were creative.
What do you see as strengths? Do you see any weaknesses?
A weakness that he had was having too much on a picture when it didnt need too much.


In the process of choosing the winner they had to look at all the portfolios and look at there pictures one by one then choose the good portfolios then from those choose the best portfolio.
