1. Strong moments from a historic community event. More visual variety, varied camera distance, and added details would strengthen the set and clarify the through line.
2. The coverage does a good job of capturing the event, including several tender moments. The photographer makes an effort to explore different moments and angles and to cover the scene thoroughly, though there is some repetition. The first image is strong visually but feels confusing and raises questions about the focus of the story.
