List three problems that the judges note with the portfolio - Boring, same techniques (overused), no focus.

It was typical, nothing unique.

Good composition, the colors were vivid, framing, there was a lot of variation and he got very into the picture, varying distances.

Strengths, he wasn't afraid of getting into the picture, changing things up a bit.
Weaknesses, some pictures would've looked better cropped.

-Variation, creativity, composition, story, strong pictures, diversity, eccentricity.
