  1. GREAT JOB Melina! Your pictures look really cool since you took it with a camera, I should've done that anyways I think your video and link were very helpful. One suggestion I have is that you might want to add a little color to make it stand out a little more but otherwise great job.

  2. Great Post Melina! I loved your pictures, they are clear and easy to see. But for the question about the hockey arena, I can't see what you were multiplying by, maybe you can improve with that. Other than that, everything was great. Good Job Melina!
