New England – October 2024 – Portrait

Judges Comments

We thought the submissions were surprisingly weak in this category, but the first-place winner rose to the top immediately. Very clean and expressive image with great use of color. Second place told a great story in an interesting way. Third place was evocative with the dramatic lighting.
