2)
a. the judges liked how close he got to the subjects and they also liked how well he captured the moments and facial expressions on people's faces.
b. I think the photographer had a lot of strengths like knowing when to center pictures and when to use the rule of thirds. I also think he did a really good job on framing photos. I don't see any weaknesses


3)
a. The judges just kind of eliminated the photographers as they went because they all agreed that some of them were just really bad. When they got to the last portfolio they all really liked and didn't think there was any bad photos so it was a unanimous vote.

Part two 

1. I agree with the judges on a photo in the no ball section where the little girl is punching on some punching bags. The judges don't think it is a good photo and I don't either because it is blurry and the color just isn't as good as it could be. It is also just a boring photo in general.

2. I disagree with the judges on one of the student image photos. It is the one at a baseball game where the dad is tossing his daughter into the air and I think it is an amazing photo because the dad and daughter are a silhouette against the very colorful night sky. The judges just didn't think it was a good photo at all.
