Issues

i. As you mentioned that I may not be able to during the run through, I was not able to run the program.

• Formatting/legibility/style
• Best practices
• Reliability
• Testability

ii. I think it would be very helpful to change the called values of colors from numbers to the color name.
This would make using the program easier for the user.

Overall, I thought this was a very creative idea and well done! Your code was easy to follow, especially because of your use of comments. The comments clearly labeled what everything's purpose was. Moving forward, I think it would be very helpful to the user to change how the color of choice is put as an input. Also, it may be nice to add additional images to the gallery, even though any added photo can be used. Lastly, addressing the issue of users not being able to run the program, although during the review in class, it was easy to navigate. Other than this, I did not see any issues with your code.
