So my teacher called me up to show me the pictures she entered in the competition, and I was in a sort of shocked state after she showed me. Not in a horrible/scary way and not in a spectacular/ oh my gosh way either, just shocked. I didn't think the pictures that she chose were even good really at all. So that's why I'm confronting you guys with this. What do you think? Are they worth it? Even in the slightest bit? I'd love some neutral feedback.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span id="goog_1690392904"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="goog_1690392905"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UnlLhcaQUiQ/TufN12FopuI/AAAAAAAAACg/_5TQqtK9rfs/s1600/MMMPhotography6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UnlLhcaQUiQ/TufN12FopuI/AAAAAAAAACg/_5TQqtK9rfs/s320/MMMPhotography6.jpg" width="213" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bDRf9hn37EI/TufOxLF7S-I/AAAAAAAAACo/9IS5TWKFbtU/s1600/MMMPhotography10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bDRf9hn37EI/TufOxLF7S-I/AAAAAAAAACo/9IS5TWKFbtU/s320/MMMPhotography10.jpg" width="213" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pipe one I thought was okay, but i definitely didn't think the feet one was that good. We'll see I guess. Here's one photo that I thought was really cool that I took. I thought for sure it'd be picked, but I guess it didn't demonstrate the strategies well. Any who, I thought it was pretty cool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgxWVsy33lI/TufPjxnbKmI/AAAAAAAAACw/s15y7h2MLE0/s1600/MMMPhotography9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YgxWVsy33lI/TufPjxnbKmI/AAAAAAAAACw/s15y7h2MLE0/s320/MMMPhotography9.jpg" width="213" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't it?
