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.
