Part 2
a. What did the judges note as strengths as they were critiquing it?
They liked the color, the composition, how the photographer got up close to take the photos, when everyone in the photo is doing something
b. What do you see as strengths? Do you see any weaknesses?
For strengths- I liked unique angles, and how the photographer knew just what to take photos of. I don't see any weaknesses.
Part 3
Watch the contest recap video at the very bottom.
a. Briefly describe the process the judges went through in deciding the winner.
They went through the photographers' portfolios and they talked about the good things and the bad things that each photographer did. Eventually they chose the one that they chose because it was the one that had the strongest photos and the most diversity.
Part 4
1. Describe one photo that you agree with the judges on. Explain why you and the judges do or do not like it.
One photo that I agree with the judges on is in the third video. It is a photo of a light shining through the posts of a football field goal and there is no one in the picture. We don't like this photo because it's boring and it doesn't show a sports portfolio, it's just a picture of an empty field.
2. Describe one photo that you do NOT agree with the judges on. Explain why you think the judges are wrong.
One photo that I don't agree with the judges on is in the third video, the second place winner. The photo is in black and white and it's not very interesting to look at. The judges really like this photo but I don't think that it was very special, and I think that many of the other pictures were more creative and more interesting to look at.
