1. Watch any four of the Runner-up videos, and answer the following on your blog:
Name of photographer -Alyssa Schukar
General focus of portfolio (photoj, sports, stories, etc.)- stories
List three problems that the judges note with the portfolio - using same lens at same distance create similarities of pedantic emotions, pessimistic dark pictures, no strong symbols
List two things the judges like-basketball celebration, the falling girl.
What is your overall impression? What did you like or not like?
I agree with the judges except whenever he said he liked one of the picture of a girl. I disagree because there was nothing much in it. It looked very unprofessional.

General focus of portfolio (photoj, sports, stories, etc.)- photoj
List three problems that the judges note with the portfolio -too tight, cropping, head covering/head not showing.
List two things the judges like-the sport pictures, gymnastics's picture with different leveling.
What is your overall impression? What did you like or not like?
Judges are very giggly and mostly like the sports or action pictures. I don't like how they like to make fun of the pictures.

Name of photographer -Nick Adams
General focus of portfolio (photoj, sports, stories, etc.)-photoj and story
List three problems that the judges note with the portfolio - tight pictures, too common subjects; kids, boring pictures.
List two things the judges like- silhouettes and the effort of new things.
What is your overall impression? What did you like or not like?
Judges are rude to say "thank god" at the end. I like how the person take different light angles of the pictures and try to get creative at some points.

General focus of portfolio (photoj, sports, stories, etc.)-story and photoj
List three problems that the judges note with the portfolio - not right moment, secondary photos on the story section, unrelated photos in the story section.
List two things the judges like- the humor of the photos
What is your overall impression? What did you like or not like?
Judges seems to be immature but very picky. I do not like the theme of photos, it was off.
