At the end of their photo time, Ben thought the pictures he took of Charlotte turned out commendable for a first-timer, even if many showed her squirming and hiding.
After, when they returned to the group, the leader of the excursion summed up a few points and ended with an announcement; For the next meeting, they'd do a critique of member-submitted portrait photos. In fact, it was a form of preparation. Their club had an internal competition coming up involving portrait photos from beginner photographers, and it was an excellent opportunity to get feedback for that.
Hearing that it was a beginners competition, Ben got an idea--he wanted to take part! That also meant it would be wise of him to enter photos into the critique next week. However, as he glanced over at Charlotte, he realized a part of that plan might prove challenging.
