2.
a. The judges liked the use of focus and they also liked composition. The judges liked how they photographer could tell a story and capture emotion in certain photographs.
b. I think the photographer did well with focus and capturing emotion. I think they could really work on not complicating photographs because then the viewer is confused on what the subject is.

3. They go through each contestant and they list/discuss strengths and weaknesses of each person's work. They talk about how well a certain photographer did with a topic and how well they captured each and every picture.

Part 2:

1. Girl in circle pool- I agree with the judges and I like how the photographer captured the subject and the use of shapes throughout the photograph. I also like the lighting, it shows more to the story.

2. Greyhound race image- The judges didn't like the background and how both dogs were cut out of image. I believe the image was very well done and had amazing focus. I think this photograph was very well done to show action.
