IMAGE CAPTION:
What I found interesting in this image is the reaction of
the spectators sitting behind the athlete who has completed
an excellent routine in gymnastics. Are they family or are
they ASU fans or both? Just look at the faces and the
reactions and decide for yourself.

A good story that you would see in a newspaper.
I think there are two images in this picture. I
would have concentrated on the athletes or the
crowd. My choice would be on the athletes. |

This is really well done and should score high. I
like the group of gymnasts segregated to the left
side, then the group of parents/VIPs at the right.
Then there is that set of steps going on a diagonal.
Image sharp as a tack, what more could you want? I
do think though that I'd prefer it without the
cameraman in right foreground, but do not think that
will hamper the scores. 8 |

Another wonderful shot that does, indeed, capture
the athlete's success in terms of teammates running
to congratulate her and the smiles and applause of
front seat spectators. I think this shot might be
cropped a bit on the left (immediately behind the
group around the performer) and on top (behind the
front row spectators, since most of those in the
second row are not paying attention anyway). I was
thinking of cropping on the right as well, but
decided I like the inclusion of the cameraman in
lower right corner and definitely like the ASU
letters on the right. Your exposure is fine. Good
job! |

The color and exposure are good and the Image is
reasonably sharp. It seems to me that the “crowd” in
the stands blends in with the “players” on the floor
– it is hard for me to see where one ends and the
other begins. A different angle ( if possible) would
have changed this perspective. The persons head with
the TV camera in the lower right is also very
distracting. (8) |

- Biography
I am a retired Art History teacher and
College Dean at a private girl's school and I
have just recently celebrated my 50th wedding
anniversary and have four children and four
grandchildren. I have been involved with Camera
Councils in MN and AZ, plus camera clubs where I
became active with PSA (1987) but didn’t enter
an International Exhibition until the fall of
1990. I keep trying to cut down on time spent
running things but haven’t learned to say no, so
I find myself currently the Exhibitions Chairman
for the Photojournalism Division for PSA and
would love to see Human Interest for the PJ
Division grow into its own as a major
competition. I have competed in 6 PSA Divisions
over the years and was probably on the edge of a
burnout when I found PJ and EID. Here new realms
have opened for me with a new excitement for
competition. My latest and continuing project is
teaching and working with Adobe Photoshop and
then seeing my ‘students’ do well in
photography. Having been in front of a classroom
for so long, I do love to present interesting
programs that I hope are both entertaining and
informative. This study group is a new challenge
where I hope to learn more about Photojournalism
and be challenged to present something that I’m
will be proud of. I do love the challenge of
learning something new. |
