These were my images that were critiqued by Jay Dickman.
I was really happy and surprised by what he had to say about each of them.
Overall, he told me that I had a good eye for capturing peak moments.
He told me that this definitely looked like a student's portfolio, though, because I didn't have a lot of "long term" images. I had a few that would be pushed out later on. He said the portrait of the little kid may be a long term photo if I wanted to go into portraits, or I'd keep the celebration shot if I was looking into photojournalism. But overall, it was obviously a work in progress.

He also told me that I needed to work on proper cropping. Cut the "days" sign out of the Strike photo, and it would be more effective. I never thought about that one before, so I thought that was helpful. He told me to not be afraid to get closer, to find moments elsewhere than what was presented right in front of me, and it's a long process, so keep working at it.
I thought that was really a great critique, overall. It wasn't a "wow, that's pretty" critique, so I appreciated it!
