4.  they liked the portrait of the elderly man , and thought doe of the pictures were funny
5.  I liked the pictures. I liked that they were all portraits and the picture stories. 

1. Dustin Snipes
2. the colors and composition
3. the main subject was always in focus. one weakness that I saw was that Dustin photoshopped the pictures a little bit to much.
4. they went through an overview of the portfolios and picked the ones they liked. They explained why they did or did not like the portfolios and went more in depth when it came to Dustin Snipe's portfolio.

PART 2

1. I agree with the judges on the  picture of the year. That was the one of the 
lady staring at the sumo wrestler on an escalator. The picture is black and white 
and I really liked that along with the judges. I though the photo was really interesting and it was a great picture in general. I liked this picture more than the one that was going up against it because it was not as interesting and funny.

2. The one photo that I didn't  agree with was the photo that won the action round. I did not like this one because it was not as interesting as the one where the guy is in the boxing match. In that picture you could see small details but it really made the picture stand out from all the others in my opinion.
