Judges Comments
Few entries. First place is a good emotional moment that harkens back to historical military deployment photos with a nice kiss and a second woman waiting in anticipation. Photo doesn’t really need a cutline because everything is in the photo. Second place is a tender moment with the mother’s hands on her son.
