CATEGORY: PORTRAIT (CPOY 62) Round 1

Judging resumed.

There maybe typos, because I am blogging while I am looking at the screen, as not to miss photos that may pass as "IN". I am not really watching the computer screen.

There are a lot of outs. It is expected. There are thousands of images.

IN - Woman on the water, looks like a beach. The water is blurred and in motion. There is a pier in the background. It is sunrise or sunset.
IN - Little, maybe asian looking out a train or bus window, a green statue in the background maybe the Statue of Liberty.
IN - I missed it because the other two prior to this one and this one were very close together.

IN - B&W image of of a person with a large mohawk. The person is facing to the right. The background is dark/black. There is a light source coming in from the right. They are leaning there head backwards.

IN - Elderly man with a walker in front of a brightly lit window. He is behind a bed. Overall, it is a clean shot.

Judges take a break - After making it through the 2nd 300 images in the Portrait Category
Judges return - 300 more images to go

IN - Personal with an leathery face, only head up, wearing a black hat, the image is B&W, quasi-out-of-focus BG

IN - Woman with big orange hair in the water up to her shoulders, she is in the 3rd lower part of the frame. She has a small dog on a small boogie board or small surf board.

IN - There is an black boy looking slightly upward. He is either scene through glass or there a reflect on the glass behind him. There are a lot of other people in reflection. The reflection is blurred.

First round Portrait is done. There are 10 images that are IN. From here on out, the judges will go through all the outs in mass, looking at multiples ones, 12 to 16 at a time on the screen to see if there was anything they passed up. Then they will go to the INs and kick out anything that doesn't deserve to be an IN.

Judges take a brief break. Bad music fills the room, while people chat and/or grab a beverage.
