First place had great color and a really nice balance to the frame. The expression on the girl has a powerful quiet intensity to it. Second place demonstrated some good access and we appreciated the way the photographer obscured the identity of the patient with the curtain. Third place was effective at capturing the confrontation between the two men but could have benefited from being a bit physically closer.
