We chose the photo sequence of the flood coverage as the first place contender, as it illustrated good subject matter and a variety of images, in order to illustrate the news of the community at hand. The photo of the woman in her home has small elements that help bring the story of the image to life — the cross on the wall to the left of the frame helps balance out the story of the woman as she looks at photographs of her son who was murdered. The image of the firefighters in training showed strong technical skill, was clean composition and well balanced in the image’s elements.
