Midwest – August 2024 – Photo Story/Essay

Judges Comments

First place stood out above the other entries. Overall a nicely edited and put together package. The photographer used a solid mix of wide, medium and tight images to tell the story. From there the judges' opinions differed. A couple entries had strong images but needed much tighter edits to place which made this difficult to judge. Second place had nice variety and no duplicate images. Watch your horizons. Third would have moved up had there been more moments outside of staged events.
