The top two winners rose quickly to the top and the third was well done as well, but should have been cropped from the top bit. First place used available light to the utmost and created a compelling and dynamic portrait. We loved it! Second place was beautiful and evocative and elegant. A very clean and successful portrait. Nice angle on the third place winner, but if cropped from the top might have finished higher.
