Meredith:

Argument – Photo manipulation can change our perception without us even realizing it. Present day lives rely heavily on editing to attain beauty; we should focus on natural beauty and natural appearance.

Strengths – Great photo manipulation – really shows the difference between before and after

Improvements – Once entered into a PowerPoint, really establish and clarify a specific argument, there are many that can be made and I’m not sure whether or not you’re for or against photo manipulation, or both.
