Part one:
1.
Name; Alyssa Schukar
General focus; stories and darkness
3 problems; distance, emotion in photos and not a good story
2 things the judges like; good graphics and background
overal impression & what I did/did not like; I liked the story but I don't think it was told very well, I also didn't like how there wasn't much emotion into the pictures

2.
Name; Travis Haughton
General focus; story and happiness
3 problems; picture of signs, too many kids and tight photos
2 things the judges like; lighting and levels
overal impression & what I did/did not like; I liked how different their photos were and how they weren't all the same and how there was more emotion into the pictures, I didn't like how busy some of the pictures were and the quality of some of them

3.
Name; Sam Adams
General focus; story and biking
3 problems; angels, back of someones head and distance
2 things the judges like; good backgrounds and the quality
overal impression & what I did/did not like; I liked the quality of all the photos and how a lot of the pictures had people moving, I didn't like the angles of some of the photos

4. Winning photo
judges strengths; angles, creativity
what strengths and weaknesses I see; strengths I saw were the focus and how some pictures were sharp and others were blurry, the creativity and how each picture told a story
process; the judges were looking at creativity and how each picture told a story, they were also looking at the focus of the pictures and how each

Part 2:
1. In the category Best student image, I agree on the judges with the picture of the sunset with the dad holding his daughter up in the air because I thought it should not of placed (and it didn't which i agree on) but the moment was nice and it wasn't a terrible picture, it just wasn't a picture that could beat the other ones.

2. In the category action, I didn't agree with them not placing the swimming picture because I thought the lighting in that photo was excellent. The picture was also creative and the color of the pool was nice and blue. The picture was also clear and it had reflection of lights so you can see that the water is moving a little and you can tell that it was water. In my opinion, that picture should've won.
