Today you will use class time to prepare for soft critique. We will have a soft critique during the second half of class. If you are in AP, choose your 5 strongest images (If you are in Photo II, submit at least 1 composite image) (these can be full res PSD files) and compress them into a zip file labeled lastname_firstname_p2_soft.
