          I chose to critique Sara's photo weaving project. When you look at it you can see an eye perfectly clear, but when you look closer there is a second eye hidden in the photo. You can see two different colors within the eye but the way they come together make it look like it's one single picture. The eyelids and the eyelashes appear to match up.
