Best Choice: Sometimes ‘not so’

Sean’s ‘through the lookingglass’ story idea is very goodbut his Best image choiceDoes not tell that story verywell. Separating one realityfrom another by changing one reality to B&W is also a good idea.

Summary:

We’re in the final stretch, please don’t drop the ball now. You want to carry that ball into the end-zone. And that is a few hard-work weeks away.

Tight layout means that it’s close. Actually the only thing that needs improvement is your expression. The expression is too neutral for your story. The final expression is up to you but it needs to be more than just neutral.
