4. They liked one of the backgrounds on one of the photos and liked another one of the photos of a girl.
5. My impression of the photographer is that she just takes photos and many of the photos is plain and has no emotion added to the photos but I do like some of the ideas that she has for her photos.

Portfolio Winner:
1. Some of the strengths that the photographer has were the different frames the emotions that were easily seen in the photos and the use of creativity that was shown in the photos.
2. I think some of the different strengths in the photo was how each photo was different from the other and didn't all look the same or alike. Some weaknesses that I saw was some of the action in the photos and it was to much and it was hard to see what was really happening in the photo.

Contest recap:
The judges go through the portfolios again and look back at some of the portfolios that they liked and the different strengths that each of the photos in the portfolio and the differences in the different strengths of the portfolios that they liked.

Part 2- Individual Images
1. One image that I agree with the judges on is an image of a tennis player. The judges like how much emotion is in the image and almost how powerful the image is along with the clear idea of what is happening in the image. I also like how simple the photo is but the different lighting in the photo.
2. One photo that I do not agree with the judges on is images of greyhound dog racing. They are good and people can easily see what is happening in the photo. I don't like how the photo almost feels blank and just looks like a photo with nothing behind it.
