2. winning portfolio

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?


A. Good ideas, all people in photos are doing things, creative, goo close ups.
B. I think a strength was he took chances in taking my different types of sports photos and using creative ideas.

3. the process

a. Briefly describe the process the judges went through in deciding the winner.

A. They go through the portfolios and start picking some out that they dont like. They take out some of the portfolios that are very basic and dont have diversity. The portfolio they picked, they picked because its diverse although its mostly sports and all the photos and editing is good.

part 2: Individual images
a. Describe one photo that you agree with the judges on. Explain why you and the judges do or do not like it.
b. Describe one photo that you DO NOT agree with the judges on. Explain why you think the judges are wrong.


A. One photo I agree with is the photo of the runner getting hit by a goose. The judges talk about how unique it is, and how its a once in a life time photo, its not one you could wait for you just had to be ready to capture it in that split second that it happened.

B. One photo I disagree with is the photo of the man playing badminton. They say they want the background cleaner because they dont like the shadow in the background. I however actually like the photo a lot, its the perfect moment for the photo, the composition is great, and its a very interesting angle.
