Winning Portfolio Critique

A. The judges liked the creativeness the photographer had and enjoyed the unique moments that were captured.
B. I thought the composition of most photos were good and the people's emotions were well focused. However, I think some photos were too photoshopped and were set up.

Recap

The judges first examined each portfolio once again, then narrowed their choices down to the pictures who had the least criticism.

Parts 1-6

I agree with the judges about the third photo of a guy about to get swallowed by an ocean wave. If the angle were steeper and the image were tighter, it might have been better.

The judges complained about the first photo about a guy riding a red sled. They did not like the view point of the photo and the blurriness. However, in my opinion, I thought is was a unique photo that had leading lines and had a sense of motion.
