Portfolio analysis - how judges pick winning portfolios and sports photos (DNF)

Name; Alyssa Schukar
General Focus; PhotoJ/sports
Three Problems;
-eating disorder story could've been better, common
-all pictures were at the same the same, they seemed to be at certain distances with the same lens, no feeling
-some photos like the uncle sam hat one brings down the collection
Three things they liked;
-They liked the background of the man sweeping the trash
-Girl that fell over photo with her opponents legs showing
Overall; I see a dark group of photos but some photos just seem random and bring down the group of photos. I didn't like the first couple photos, they got boring. I liked the photos with limited lighting like the stairway one or the one of the men in the street.

Name; Travis Haughton
General Focus; starts as a photoj story then moves into multiple sports photos and some random photos
Three Problems;
-Since the photos are blown up the quality isn't that great
- Some photos need captions because there isn't enough info in the photo to know what is going on
- the photos are too tight, which made mergers, and are cropping out some things that can add to the photo and make it better
Two things they liked;
-The lighting in photos were on point but the idea of those photos didn't add to what the photographer was trying to say
-The amount of background in some pictures brought more to the photo which made them like it.
Overall : I really liked this portfolio. Some images didn't mean anything and seemed very random but there was a  run on of kids in this portfolio
