I think I did okay when they were critiqued by the class. The only negative thing the teacher had to say was that they were both "not subtle". Since there was nothing in the project instructions about being sublime, I think I did pretty good. When I showed Kathy the photos and told her what the teacher said, she said "you're NOT subtle", which made me feel even better.
