- Mostly correct exposures as in the histogram
- Compression with minor discrepancies
C. The students have shot images that:

- Have the histograms showing overexposure and underexposure
- Have room for improvement and are incorrectly saved
D. The students have shot images that:
- Do not demonstrate any technical understanding
- Have inaccurate apertures and shutter speeds
- Are saved by using an inaccurate file format and compression

Aesthetics
The following is the aesthetics criterion:
Composition
The following is a breakdown of the grading scale:

to
enhance the subject

- Show minor neglect of the background, foreground, and the edges of the frame
C. The students have shot images that:

- Show neglect of the background, foreground, and the edges of the frame
D. The students have shot images:
- With the subject floating in the frame, having no compositional elements
to direct
the viewer's eyes in and around the frame
- With haphazard composition and no attention to detail
Conceptual
The following is the conceptual criterion:
- Nonverbal communication
The following is a breakdown of the grading scale:

B. The students have shot images that contain adequate information in the
composition to
engage viewers.
