Judges were immediately drawn to the palette and composition of the first place winner. A simple but elegant portrait that brings viewers into the story. Second place has a masterful balance of lighting and a simple, clean scene that tells the story before we even read the caption. The third place sportrait also used great lighting and sense of place to make a beautiful image from a routine assignment.
Judges:
Julia Robinson/Independent, Ilana Panich-Linsman/Independent, Bronte Wittpenn/Austin American-Statesman
