Judges Comments

A few images stood out from the not-so-many entries. The first place photo of the cheerleaders donned in see through plastic rain covers caught our eyes immediately. The photo was an instant read. It’s not an easy task getting candids of cheerleaders. Nicely composed and nicely lit with the back lit rain drops. The second place photo we have seen done many times but this one had a nice graphic element of the rain drops with a sense of mystery. The green reflection in the drummer’s sunglasses in the third place photo composed with repeating circular patterns made this frame stand out as the best of the rest. Well cropped.
