Judges Comments
The first place image is well-composed and the photographer waited for the right moment to happen within the composition. The moment and composition work together to give a sense of motion. The second place photo is a clean, quiet composition with the addition of the grasses in the foreground adding to the atmosphere. We liked the moment between the couple in the third place photo.
