Judges Comments
For first place, we loved the graphic nature of the image and the joyful expression of the subject. Second place is an extraordinary fashion shot. The colors just pop.The inclusion of "pool" in the background works well too. Second place was published in May even though it was shot in April. Third place is a nice portrait with good light and good layering. I would have like a bit larger focal length to make the DJ a bit more apparent and to crop the ceiling a bit.
