I have been working with a girl in 4H with her phtography and she was pleased to get a blue ribbon on her entry. I told her what the judges would look for and to go out and take no less than 100 photos. We sifted through the photos and I had her pick which ones she wanted to use. Then I explained what was good or bad with each one. She needed 4 photos for her category. The directions said cropping was allowed so I showed her how to use elements to do the cropping. She also used the tool to straighten the horizon on another . I let her choose the photos and let her do the cropping so she would enter her work not mine. She was a good student and she has been doing photgraphy with me since she was about 8. I would give her a digital camera and tell her to go and shoot. We looked at some of her first photos and boy has she improved over the years. Now she is 15 and loves phtography.
