Leaders:  Chris Rohwer and Kathy Westbrook

Time:  5:00 PM - Plan to arrive at 4:45 for program start at 5:00 PM 

Purpose:
This session is intended to be a rapid-fire critique session, by members for members. Each participant will submit two images to be critiqued by three randomly selected members. Critiques will focus on offering constructive suggestions for possible improvements to image capture or post-processing.

While we will strive for a positive and respectful environment, participants should come with an open mind to the ideas and critiques offered by others.

Participants will not only learn more about their own images, but will also benefit from seeing and hearing recommendations on the work of others.

It is suggested that submitted images not be your “perfect” images, but rather images you like that did not fully meet your expectations for any number of reasons.

Instructions for submitting images will be provided to registered participants at a later date.

Notes:

• Submitted images should be named using the following format:
  Number (1 or 2), underscore, first initial, last name
  Example: 1_JSmith and 2_JSmith
• An “experienced” judge will provide a brief summary of each image after member comments.
• Each of the three selected participants should strive to summarize their thoughts in approximately 30 to 45 seconds. The facilitator will then have about one minute, giving each image roughly three minutes of total consideration.
• With 30 images, total critique time will be approximately 90 minutes. Including additional instructional and procedural discussion at the beginning, the session will last about two hours.
• Each participant will be assigned a number from 1 to 15. Three numbers will be randomly drawn for each image and projected. After each round of selection, all numbers will be returned to the pool for random selection again.
