Part 2

1. I agree with the judges about the picture of the girls running on the track and one of them falls. I agree with them because I feel like the picture could've been cropped more because the center of attention is to the left of the picture.
2. I disagree with the judges on the picture of the guy falling into a wave while surfing. I disagree because they judges said it would look better if the picture was taken when the surfer falls into the ocean, but I think it looks good when the surfer is in mid-air.
