First and second were very close. First: Great, interesting subject shines through in the photo. Nice light on her face. Great color and use of depth of field. Second: Bright vivid colors frame a great expression. Background is interesting, but not distracting. Caption has errors. Third: It is clean and crisp, has a shallow depth of field and the subject's face is lit well. You get enough context from the clothes and medal, and the
caption is nearly perfect.
