Picture number 1: The picture had symmetry and patterns because of all the candles that are floating upwards in the sky there are multiple, too many to even begin to count. They also all repeated the same color in the sky.

Picture number 2: The picture has a blurred Background which causes the person in the picture to stand out and be the main focus point, there are really no distractions causing you to look away from the man in the picture.

Picture number 3: The picture had depth because of the layers you can break the picture down to.

Sports & stories

Some pictures came out “blan” or just “fine”.
Focus was lost in a couple pictures.
First picture in picture story didn’t show what the caption said.

Pictures looked like they came out in a “professional camera”
Realness of the photos, nothing looked staged

The photographer did a pretty well job taking pictures, some were very deep and interesting. I liked how the photographer wasn’t afraid to take pictures that might shock the person viewing the pictures.



The photographer made his pictures seem as if he was there in the scene.
His strengths, he had shown a good tone within his photos and his portfolio had a lot of unique creative photos.



They  looked at the stories in each portfolio and decided which was stronger. They rewarded diversity. They had to be a good editor. There has to be no bad pictures that brought down the rest of the photos in the portfolio.




1.       I liked the tennis picture. It was very “tight” and there was so much emotion even though you couldn’t see the player’s face.
2.       I favored the goose picture over the escalator because you really don’t see geese running into a runner. He caught the picture in the moment and this wasn’t planned.

Warm Up - Japanese Earthquake

 It's unbelievable to see this picture of the burned out cars and I wonder exactly where this took place and how they are planning to move all the cars .
-Viewpoint

On a personal level i admire people who aren't afraid to serve for the country. I know that you would have to have heart and be beyond brave. But knowing myself, that wouldn't be me. I really could't see myself being as brave as the Sgt. in this picture.
- Balancing elements

It's very weird looking at this picture of the town, only because it looks like Austin but in an alternate universe. The town looks completely abbandoned, which might have been hard to leave assuming that the town had to be full of people up and about around this area.
