Judges Comments
First Place: We love this portrait. It's nicely lit with dramatic lighting on his face. We also appreciate the great background choice. Second Place: We like the decision to make this a black-and-white photo, it makes it more dramatic. Third Place: Instead of trying to turn off or crop out the overhead lights, we like that they were incorporated into the photo. We like the angle this was shot at and the pose of the subject.
