Judges Comments
First place was awarded because every face in the image tells a story. To see how the photographer captured their pain and the young boys respect really rose this photo to the top. Second place had good light and showed good planning by the photographer. Third place, showed good framing. For this section a whole, some photos could have done better in a different category.
