New England – April 2023 – Feature/Single

Judges Comments

First place made us laugh. Every photographer is saying to him “Move your finger!” It’s a subtle moment not everyone would notice. Second Place looks like a cover for a fishing and outdoors magazine. Third Place The modern love of the background with the jewelers juxtaposed against Shakespearean sonnets was interesting. Insert your favorite Shakespeare quote here: “Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? . . . A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”
