Judges Comments
The first place image was extremely graphic and caught our attention right away. The second place winner was not the best technically shot image, but conveyed emotion and made us want to know more about the situation. The third-place series showed good coverage of a spot news event, but we thought the fourth image wasn't needed in the edit.
