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.
