a. What did the judges note as strengths as they were critiquing it? They liked the composition of some photos and how the photographer seemed to be part of the photos.
b. What do you see as strengths? Do you see any weaknesses? I see all of the emotion that the photographer was trying to capture and I liked the angles that he used. I think that some of the photos were too busy. 


PART 3:

1. Describe one photo that you agree with the judges on. Explain why you and the judges do or do not like it.
I agree with their feelings on on of the action photos with the race car because I did like the leading lines, but there wasn't anything beautiful about it. It wasn't eye-catching or dramatic in any way. 

2. Describe one photo that you do NOT agree with the judges on. Explain why you think the judges are wrong.
I think that the photo of the greyhounds running was an excellent picture, the judges thought that it wasn't as good as it should have been and were debating whether or not to keep it. I think that the focus and the expression of the dogs was awesome and the viewer can almost feel themselves being there. I think that even thought there was burning out in the photo it was still an awesome photo.
