Judges Comments
General news images rose to the top quickly. 1st was a Dia De Los Muertos entry that had some nice details, but could have been edited tighter. 2nd was a nice moment of an astronaut reacting to applause at an orange carpet appearance. 3rd was a quiet image from a balloon launch in memoriam to valet deaths.
