Varied edits and intentional image-making elevated our three photo story entries.
First - The bird researcher package clearly showed that the photographer spent some time with the subject, which opened up a variety of other photo opportunities that broadened the series nicely. Very nice combination of effort and execution.
Second - The bison round-up story allows the viewer to experience both place and moment through the use of long and short lenses. The great light certainly elevated the set as well.
Third - The disabled cross-country athlete story features a good variety of images that engage the viewer in an intimate, telling way. While each of the seven photos added value, we wondered if there wasn't room for one or two more emotional moments.
