New England – June 2023 – Feature/Single

Judges Comments

First Place: We all agreed that “Graduation Moment” deserved first place. We love how the subject is off centered, but the photo is still very symmetrical. This was the cleanest image out of all the submissions, and we appreciated the nice lighting. Second Place: We like the unique perspective with “Turkey Farm.” The viewer is able to figure out what is taking place with this organized-chaos type of vibe. Third Place: Our eyes went straight to the subject in “Resurgam” as the person is perfectly framed in the negative space. Alternate: We like the emotion and even lighting in “Graduation Kiss.” The photographer was able to find a sweet moment in a chaotic environment.
