Part 1.

A. Alyssa schukar

B. The general focus is a story to portray the pain that this person went through while struggling with bulimia and                                             how it does get better if you stay strong and accept the support of the ones that love you.

C. All the pics were at a certain distance and not up close and personal.

Each picture is kind of similar.

D. The picture of the man sweeping the street in Haiti.

The shot of the girl falling over the hurdles.

2.

A. The color and composition was great,  the angles were good, the photos were interesting and had a lot going on in them.

B. I saw great angles and lots of interesting moments in each picture. The only weakness I saw was that some pictures were too photo shopped.

3A. The judges briefly looked through all the pictures in the portfolio again and decided if they could win or should be eliminated. Then out of the ones they liked, they decided on the winner.

Part 2.

1. In part 6,  I really liked the photo of the girl getting hit by a goose. The judges said that it was good stuff and I completely agree. The photo was very interesting and was captured perfectly to create the allusion that time was frozen.

2. In part 1, the judges said that the first photo wasn't dramatic enough but I disagree. It had movement and was intriguing.
