Sports/Action More Details

1.
Name of photographer - Alyssa Shukar
Things The Judges Didn't Like: All the pictures were of a certain distance and not feeling the love or pain. No strong singles. Uncle sam and lap dance had been pictured better. More optimisim and birghtness would of been better.
Two Things Judges Like: Haiti picture, the man sweeping. The girl that fell over the hurtles because it shows the legs of the other runner. The stair case was a good picture.

What is your overall impression? What did you like or not like?
They were good pictures, they just weren't interesting to me. The pictures were too dark. It needed more light. More smiles? Less depressed people. More action.


2.
What did the judges note as strengths as they were critiquing it?The bow tie was good color. The shadow of the baseball picture was good. Being close to the action was a good thing. The girls basketball picture was good, alot of action with everything.

What do you see as strengths? Do you see any weaknesses?
The strengths were strong. Good focus and good action all the time. I didn't see any weaknesses, neither did the judges.

3.
Briefly describe the process the judges went through in deciding the winner.The judges went through alot of portfolios and went through the pictures to see which ones had good pictures. They looked for alot of action and emotion in the pictures.

1. Describe one photo that you agree with the judges on. Explain why you and the judges do or do not like it.
I agree with the picture with the lady in the air wearing orange. They think it's a good picture but then another judge talks about the car being in the backround. They talk about that it isn't a big deal but he denies it. I think it's a good picture because at first I didn't notice it until the other judge pointed it out.

2. Describe one photo that you do NOT agree with the judges on. Explain why you think the judges are wrong.
I liked the pictures. But I thought they would of chosen other pictures other than what they chose. I would of picked something else. I dont agree that a judge was saying that he would of seen the duck coming. That it was somewhat planned. I don't think it was.

Touching People

1. I think this project was pretty cool. The people in the picture made it seem as if they were related and not strangers.
2. I would probably first think it was a prank and feel all awkward. But then if it was for a project then maybe I would do it. It also depends on the other person.
3. I would like to go shoot like 2 different animals together. Two that dont get along. The pictures would be bad butt.
4. I think they were just portrait pictures. Just took the picture how ever. But everyone was always centered in the picture. Also alot of posing which made it as portraits.

Japanese Earthquake

This picture has emotional sad feelings. Which makes me feel bad for the woman in the picture. The photographer used rule of thirds and focused on the main subject.

This picture makes me sad because of the old man needing help. He probably got injured while the earthquake occured. The photographer used rule of thirds. Balanced the picture with the backround.

This picture makes me sad because of the little girl in the picture. She is probably all alone or something. The photographer used almost backround. Used framing. And the colors around it made the subject stand out because of the bright color she is wearing.

Cool Advertising Idea

I like this one because it looks pretty and cool. I like the chili peppers hanging down they look so real. And the leaves look so real too.

It wouldn't make me buy an AT&T phone because T-Mobile is better and It's just a picture. I don't even know what the "hands" have to do with the pictures.
