Central – June 2026 – Spot News

Judges Comments

Category was weak overall, lacking spot news. Most are features. Many lacked a focal point, emotion or action. First: There is a sense of urgency which made it the photo closest to spot news in the category. Second: Tells a story of a barn coming down and the resigned attitude of its owner. Third: Good composition and light, good use of a smaller aperture.
