~General focus of portfolio - Photo story
~List three problems -
1. The focus on the photograph of the head phones and the boy was not so great.
2. The photographer wasn't very careful avoiding mergers on the photograph of the girl hugging the guy.
3. They would like to see the face of the coach on the picture were the player is picking up the coach.

1. They like that the girl is climbing the rope on the gymnastics photograph.
2. The photograph of the baseball throwing himself down to catch the baseball. They liked everything about it.
~What is your overall impression? What did you like or not like? - My overall expression is that the photographs were alright, They were a lot that were Photoshopped and the quality on some photos was very unprofessional.

--------------------------------------------
Winner: Dustin Snipes
What did the judges note as strengths as they were critiquing it?
They noticed that the photographer was shooting the photos up close and they really liked that.

What do you see as strengths? Do you see any weaknesses?
The photographer was using great focus and the fact that he was up close with the subjects, it just made it even better. The only weakness that I saw was that one photograph of the baseball guy, it was Photoshopped way too much. 

--------------------------------------------
 They had to eliminate each contestant one by one, even though they would have wished to pick seconds, they had to only choose one portfolio. At the end they all agreed to the one person who had no bad pictures in their portfolio.

Japanese Earthquake

I feel like the woman in this photo is suffering, she could have been depressed from the tragedy. When I look at this photograph I feel worried, shocked, amused knowing that something so terrible like this happened and they were all victims of the tsunami. 

The photographer used good simplicity, not too much going on, and did a good job avoiding mergers. He might have focused the camera on the woman so the background of the picture wouldn't distract the viewer from the main point. 

When I first saw this picture it gave me and irony because the way the smoke is shaped looks like a rainbow, but it's actually smoke. Rainbows are friendly, kind, joyful, but on the other hand smoke is dangerous, killing, horrible ; this picture creates a good point of view for the viewer. The photograph grabs the viewers attention quickly making the viewer actually want to know about the picture.

The photographer was great avoiding mergers, and a good point of view. 

This photograph gives emotion, team work is needed for this horrible occasion. I feel like this photo gives a sad vibe. Team work is needed at every moment. 

The photographer used good focus, and great lighting.
