2. Watch the winning portfolio critique (Dustin Snipes), and post the following:

a. What did the judges note as strengths as they were critiquing it?
-really good captures of the moment

b. What do you see as strengths? Do you see any weaknesses?
-I see really good potential in all pictures, the only weakness would be its a bit photoshopped exxagerated.

3. Watch the contest recap video at the very bottom.
a. Briefly describe the process the judges went through in deciding the winner.
-The judges discussed if the stories were old enough and if the photos didn't always have the same thought behind it. In other words, the same picture (not literally) just in a different shot. Also if the person is a good editor.

Part 2- 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.
-Part 1 picture, the judges like the photo except the view. I agree with them because the picture shows nothing besides a fast moving object and the background needed to be more vivid.

2. Describe one photo that you do NOT agree with the judges on. Explain why you think the judges are wrong.

-Part 5- Best student image

-Two boys colliding while in a game of basketball. The judges mentioned the shot being too close but I disagree, I think it's a good distance.
