Judges Comments
First place features a beautiful composition, strong lighting, and a creative concept. Second place shows a wonderful expression; although we loved the image, the angle and lighting weren’t ideal. Third place delivers a powerful reaction, but it felt more like a sports feature than a portrait. Honorable mention stands out for its beautiful lighting and color.
