PART 2
1.     I agree with the judges in Part 1 with the picture of the boxer, Kelley, is being hit in the face. It would be a much better picture if it were tighter so that you couldn’t see the awkward referee in the background.

2.     I didn’t agree with the judges on the black and white basketball picture in Part 5. They seemed to like it more because of the reactions and actions, but the odd cropping and angle didn’t appeal to me.
