There were very few entries in this category. The first-place image creates a moody vibe that immediately catches attention. The photographer does a good job balancing natural and external light in the second-place portrait. We liked the creative framing of the third-place image, but think it would have been more effective if the white highlight hadn't been placed right next to Joe's face.
