West – October 2025 – Portrait

Judges Comments

The images with both football players is a stunning use of light and contrast, with the photographer clearly displaying technical control over the image. It was a unique approach to a sports portrait. The second image identified an interesting character with a clean background that piques a viewer’s interest. The other football portrait showed a similar mastery over lighting.
