First place is not your everyday, lit portrait. But still the lighting made it. The fact that the subject is not dead center in the frame also added to the quality of the photo. Second place is another photo where the light made it pop. Using what we are guessing is the setting sun as you light was a great choice. You saw the light and used it to your advantage. Third was not really a conventional portrait but we liked the light and framing of the subject behind the glass giving it third.
