Judges Comments

This category contained some of the strongest work of the contest. First place captures an honest moment that helped tell the story of the pandemic's impact on a family. Second place is a strong composition focusing the viewer to connect with the man's eyes. Third place is expressive, clean, and is a good use of harsh light.
