Midwest – July 2024 – General News

Judges Comments

1st place had strong emotion and was well composed. The caption could have been written to more clearly explain the incident that led up to the prayer walk. 2nd place was a nice quiet moment and had a strong sense of place. 3rd place was on the line between news and sports. The photographer likely could have improved this image by getting closer and holding the camera lower to the ground. Many of the entries in this category were lacking captions that sufficiently explained what was going on or would have been a better fit in the Feature Single category.
