12.Surroundings-I like how you can see most of downtown austin, and the lighting isn't too bad, it casts a shadow in the back, i liked this picture the most cause it has a lot going on, with the buildings, and cars, give you a lot of options to look at, but your eye goes dirtectly to the bridge that is there in the middle.

Name of photographer -Travis Haughton
General focus of portfolio (photoj, sports, stories, etc.)-Sports,events,emotion
List three problems that the judges note with the portfolio -Doesn’t look staged.Don’t like pictures of sign if you can’t read it,and or Blocked face or head.
List two things the judges like-Lighting, lot's of levels, somewhat graphic.
What is your overall impression? What did you like or not like?I like how he would capture true emotion, but his pictures are something you'd see everyday in a magazine or newspaper,i rather see something interesting i've never seen before without making a bad comment about it. I didn't like how he didn't fill most of the frame,and most pictures were blank,didn't have a story to it, what so ever.

What did the judges note as strengths as they were critiquing it?Color composition, busy, creative, had a story, very unique.

What do you see as strengths? Do you see any weaknesses? The stregths i saw, was that this photographer made sure he really got in there,so if you were to see the picture,you'd feel that emotion, or event happening. His weaknesses were Proabably his pictures were blurry, but to the judges it was a cool effect.

the judges go through some of the students portfolios, and see if there is a great story, if all the pictures are strong enough to just tell that story without having to read a caption.They make their judgment saying whether one or two pictures throws it all off, or their all just very strong pictures. which to them Dustin had won the compitetition.

PART TWO!
-The photo i agree with on the judges is the picture of the girls running falling over each other, it makes you want to see what is going to happen next, the girls are just about to tumble over each other braking some bones maybe, who knows it's an exciting picture.
